clk430 vs 55 shock question

Ive found a vendor that sells the blisten sport for the 430 but doesn't list as it fitting the 55.. Ive been searching on the forum and as well as other vendor pages and my guess is that both 430 and 55 share the same shocks, am I correct? Ive already bought the H&R springs and ghostriders camber kit and just want to make absolutely sure the shocks between the two models are one and the same. Thanks

According to the online Bilstein catalog (at bilstein.com), the front and rear B8 sports (front part# 24-025997/old part# F4-BE3-2599-H1 and rear part#24-018555/old part# F4-B36-1855-H0) are the only sport shocks listed for the CLK430 and the same part is listed for the CLK55. Long story short - yes, they are the same
