Apparently the shocks from a Mini have the same fitment but are shorter in
length but I can't confirm this from personal experience. I have beetle
rears (with the lower sleeve trimmed down) on the front of my Fastback with
a 3 spline drop and no problems.

I don't know really. I have seen shorter front shocks advertised and I
wondered if mine were standard or short.
