Lowering springs

Hi everyone
I can put the hand on a used set of lowering springs H&R 29749-HA.
What confuse me is that there is written CABRIO on it which means Convertible.
Would it fit on my 1999 CLK320 Coupe Base ?
Any help will be appreciate as the set is cheap and lowering was my next step to do on my ride.
Thank you.

My guess is that the convertible cars weigh more, and therefore the spring rate on those springs is different than the spring rate for the coupes. I would guess they are a sturdier spring, and would lower the car less than the HR springs designed for coupes.
