Just a question that I have that I can't find an answer too, I saw for sale dampers that were specific to the mini van as they need to be longer at the rear, or can I use the normal ones that would come in a set?

Have a read of this article. http://www.minimania.com/Dampers___Fitment_data . It helped me work out if my shocks were going to fit a clubby sedan that had been lowered.
I measured the distance between my shock mounts with the car on the ground and made sure this distance was in between the shocky operating stroke. Maybe the longer length shock is because vans are supposed to be jacked up higher at the back for load carrying reasons.
