[s-cars] UrS4 shocks - Part numbers

[Cody Forbes]

Isn't the reason for the length differance so you can match them to  
lowering springs or stock springs? Ie. HD struts with short springs  
will bottom the shaft in the strut 1" (or whatever it is) before the  
suspension is at bottom. Long springs with Sport struts will just  
force you to compress the spring an inch more during installation and  
the suspension will travel too far before the strut hit the bump stop.
