Rear shocks from GR86 question

Hello!

Is the main difference between the 2013-20 and 2022+ rear shocks the shape of the lower spring perch? I'm thinking about asking Bilstein if they can send me a a GR86 rear lower spring perch to run GR86 springs.

I've used my17 rear shocks with GR86 rear springs since 2023 without any problem.
The lower side radius of the gen 2 springs is smaller than the gen 1's but they work with gen 1 shocks.
