The rears fit, however the fronts need 4th gen front strut mounts($35x2) and have to have extensive work on the lower mounting holes which is what Cattman does here:

Now that was helpful.

To answer your question, the AGX's work wonderfully well on fifth gens from what I have heard but as was stated earlier, they do require a bit of modification to get them to fit (not as extensive as the Koni Yellows though). Let us know which route you choose.

i'd like see how these struts compare to illuminas. i know many people here on the .org are like the illuminas, but haven't heard much from AGX owners.
