341179 is 100% the correct KYB Excel-G part# for the rears. If you're having issues getting them to line up, maybe the struts aren't the issue.
I replaced all 4 struts on my 98 base last fall. Everything installed perfectly.
Here is a quick rundown of the part#'s I used. Hope this helps.
This is for KYB Excel-G struts, NOT the KYB AGX struts.

One thing to note, the rear KYB mount kits included the stock length "sleeves"...which retained the rear "shock knock" issue. So I had to replace those with the shorter length part#52728-S30-004 afterward. That part# is only for a 2001, but it will fit 97-00. It's listed as 2001 only because that's when Honda realized there was an issue and changed the actual part. Here is the info on shock knock and the fix for it: http://www.preludeonline.com/f89/write-up-5th-gen-shock-knock-fix-tsb-00-090-a-13702/
