    The front shocks are different length than the rear if you are using a solid axle (I think the manual makes this distinction but haven't looked). You have IRS. Be sure to note that the springs are different front to rear. Also, before installing springs on the shocks check the rebound adjustment on the shocks---they are supposed to leave the factory set to full soft but a few times over the years I've found that isn't always the case (Just happened again when I was putting coilovers together for a Gen3 Coupe a couple weeks ago and discovered that 3 were set correctly and one was not).

    Good to hear that the ball joints went in without issues!

    Carry on and good luck!
