Lowering rear shock VX250

Hi guys,
Im looking to drop rear shock about 1.5- 2" on VX250, have seen some ppl use a shorter shock but they just didnt say what knind of shock was it. If you guys have any idea what kind of shocks should i be looking for pls let me know. Would Honda rebel shock fit on VX250, it seems to be abit shorter and might be ok to get the spring cut.
Thanks
