I lost my directions but I am 99% sure they said 40mm. If it was any shorter I don't think the shock would slide in properly.

GOOD THING YOU POSTED THIS...HERE IS YOUR ANSWER...... straight from the KONI guy...
"Gordon Benson" <gbenson@koni-na.com>




Laurence,

We do not have a complete front struts available for the 2001 Civic. The
installation is not difficult if you take your time and work through the
instructions carefully. A general English write-up of the instructions can be
found on our website at

LINKAGE TO BETTER INSTRUCTIONS

This will be the same as your installation except for step four. In the
instructions included with the inserts, you have to
-Measure the distance from the top of the strut insert to the bumps on the side
of the insert
-Take this measurement and subtract 7mm from it. This is the amount that you
need to take off from the top of the factory strut.

If you have any other questions about the installation, please let me know.
Thanks.

Gordon
