Question shocks/struts

If I want to order a full set of Bilsteins for my 96 Z28, what parts do I order? Not the SLP version, but the regular. I am getting confused looking at various websites and their differing parts for the same car.

Struts went out with the 3rd gen. All 4th gens have shocks all the way around.

I got a better deal than posted above from http://www.bimmerparts.com . Total including shipping was cheaper for me.
