I think I found part of what you want. I don't know what coil over bolts and rack refers to. The attached is based on information in the 2020 Corvette Service Manual. Manuals have been known to have errors - so use at your own risk.

I finally figured that coil over is referring to the shock with the spring over it. The upper fasteners are nuts. The lower fastener is a bolt. Once the unit is removed a special tool is required to remove and install the shock rod mounting nut. The information is found in the service manual - there could be errors in the manual - use at your own risk.
