regardless of how low youve dropped the front end, the correct way of determining shock length is to measure between the top and bottom mounts with the car on the ground and settled, and then buy shocks that match that length when at their mid-travel point. most short shocks sold for bugs are actually too short. one pair i checked out were at full extension on a 4" lowered beam, meaning that there was downward travel, but no upward travel!! pretty unsafe i'd say...
