They are model (well engine) specific due to the differing weights on the front end :y

I believe that the shocks are the same, it's the springs that vary.

Thank's,just checked here  http://webcat-services.zf.com/index.asp?SPR=4 and it's the same shock for all omegas,now why do various ebay suppliers charge more for 3.0 front shock's over 2.0 front shock's  :-/
