Are the rear ones the same length as the standard Mv6 ones ?

The rear ones are the same length as all Omega rear shocks (for a saloon or estate, as appropriate)

But they can handle a deeper stroke as encountered with lowering springs.

Not sure if Facelift MV6 shocks can handle greater than the standard -15mm drop of an LSC setup but the standard shocks wont.

That's what I was after  :y
Cheers TB  :)

Finally seem to have the back end of mine sorted but noticed that one shock had a slight misting of oil so looks like i'll replacing them before the next MOT  ::)

Just need to find a slightly stiffer front spring that gives the same front ride height as the standard Mv6 springs (unless oem ones are reasonably priced that is)
