I believe they're interchangeable but I wouldn't do it. The spring rates are going to be off, resulting in a ****ty ride and DropZone springs are crappy to begin with.

Fronts are interchangeable, rears are not. The spring perch on the rear struts is different between 4th and 5th gen.

Its not reversed. I have personally tested 5th gen springs on my 4th gen.
We are talking springs here, not struts. The lower bolts on the struts front struts are different, but the spring perches are the same, I didn't check the strut mounts compatibility. Lower bolts on the rear 5th gen struts will fit 4th gens, 5th gen springs taper down at the last couple coils making the inner diameter too small to fit the larger 4th gen spring perches, and the 2 bolts on the the gen rear strut mount are spaced differently and not compatible without modification.
