Hey Sami,
I have Ninja250R links on my RS250 which are 5mm shorter (see above). I only rode it once at Eastern Creek Raceway after putting them in. It raised the back end up about 20mm, but ruined the handling of the bike. It took the whole day to adjust the suspension to get a decent feel back, but I will be removing them to put standard links back in. I am also running Sugaya chambers and had to space them out wider to clear the swingarm and chain. I wouldn't recommend doing this.

It exists a 25mm shorter version of the rear shock link but it would feel veeeery lower than std one.

Also preload of your spring will change the feel
