Default 2008 xk base convertible shocks

I was looking at the bilstein site trying to determine if I could use XKR shocks for my XK and came to a screeching stop.
The xkr damptronic shocks are only listed for coupes. Does anyone know the part# for 2008, xkr, convertible shocks? (frt & rear)

There is no difference between coupe and convertible shocks, nor any other suspension components. Only differences are those specifically FOR the top or otherwise coupe.
Otherwise, will the /R shocks even work with the non-/R? I don't know specifically since I've only ever owned a 5.0 XKR, but do you have active suspension, and do the shocks you're looking for?

I have active 'worn out' XK shocks...hoping that XKR would firm things up a bit.
So, are you saying the shocks are same for coupe and conv?

I have checked part numbers between my car and my son's, and they are the same. His coupe, my vert. Both /Rs.
