the shock length is like 4mm shorter than the ninja 250 shock (approx) and since there's about a 3.5:1 travel ratio from the swingarm to shock, it lowers the rear end about 15mm (measured from the back of the rear subframe to the tip of the rear adjuster bolt). Its really not even a noticable height difference, but a major chage in feel and ride quality.
I backed off the compression damping another quarter (for a total of 1/2 turn) and it feels just about right. Stiffer than the stock shock but not overly stiff.
