Could some one please get me the measurements for the bilstein front and rear shocks that everyone seems to be using on the gixxer_drew setup. I only need the distance between the top of the clip that the coil over can rests on to the approximate center of the bolt hole (again both front and back please). I want to see how they compair to the KYB excel-g shocks.
(here is a picture of both for reference) from the picture they dont appear drastically different.
