Default Bilstein Z51 Shocks Question

I bought Z51 Bilstein shocks from zipcorvette.com Well, I bought them for my '92 'vert , of which I am selling , and I recently purchased a '92 coupe, which I want to install the shocks into.

My question: The front shocks , according to Zip, are designated for a convertible.

What difference is there between the coupe and convertible, especially front shocks??

Would I be able to use them? (I hope so!)

Just the valving, the suspension is no different in terms of bolt angles and such. Possibly something would be different if FX3 is involved.
