RSX struts on a civic

RSX struts on a civic, is it possible? Isn't the RSX strut shorter in length comapred to the civic? Anyone try this?

If the RSX strut is indeed shorter than it would be ideal for the civic with lowering springs since they already have a higher dampening rate designed for the heavier rsx. If this did work than type S struts on a civic would be a simple way to upgrade struts without the hassle of taking apart the stock strut to install a more expensive Koni insert.

Just an idea. Let me know what you guys think, or why it wouldn't work.
