The ride height as delivered is approx. 10 mm lower. That doesn,t necessarily mean the spring wire length is shorter or longer. It could be exactly the same but with the coils set slightly closer together. If the wire dia and wire length is the same then the torsion length and rate remains the same.

Also yes the sport shocks have shorter shafts (by 1/2 to 1 in). That might increase the static preload on the springs at droop but they should sit at the same ride height compressed .
