Swift DB1, 2 or 3 rear shock length?

[SteveG]

Could someone provide the eye to eye rear shock length of a DB1, 2 or 3 at ride height? +- 0.5" is fine.
I'm putting together a set of adjustable struts for alignment use and I need a good starting point.

Attached photo of the DB1 "Shock Rods" I use to set alignment. Cannot confirm, but I believe they are OEM. Top rods (straight) are fronts; ~12.25" eye to eye. Bottom (twisted) rods are rear; ~12.50" eye to eye. All are ~13.50" overall length.

Not to be a wise ... but I would set the car at ride height then measure the shock length. Chassis all have some variation iin them.

Your ride height might not be the same as the next guys. Just saying FWIW.

I've got a DB2 S2000 which requires either:
1. a small or very flexible person to crawl under the rear bodywork and into the suspension.
2. engineer some sort of remote measuring stick to fit inside the oil tank casting.

I took option C, ask on Apexspeed then fab up a couple of turn buckles that are close and adjust from there. Now I can align the car with no bodywork on.

P.S. Adjusting the corner weights is a PITA. Rear bodywork on -> check weight -> rear body work off -> adjust -> repeat
