Ive got a 56plate prefl hatch 1.9tdi and im wondering if anyone knows the length of the rear shock i have coilover suspension and my shocks are gone. Its much cheaper to get oem shocks than spares for the kit. The coilover shocks are 13 1/2 inches thats the body length not the body and ram. If anyone could help would be much appreciated im needing to get them changed before mot time.

extended or compressed?

Just what i would call the body the part that the ram compresses into.
