I measure they match, and I prefer them as short as they can be while also offering smooth steering and no braking from steering. I also cut an inch too long at first to ensure that when I get on the bars before I tape them, the bar angle and the position of the levers is where I want it. Once I have all that, I'll clip the housing to the right length, tape my bars, then fully get my brakes done.
