My reason for doing it is because I love the vti 5th gen alloys on a 4th gen.

You also need 5gen ABS sensors as they are mounted using 2 bolts.

I've done rear bearings with uprights and never had an issue with droplinks so can't confirm or deny what 4genphil said.

And at least outer CVs. CVs on 5th have bigger outside diameter which means that the 4th gen one won't seal properly the wheel bearing. Also you won't be able to tight properly 36mm nut as there is not enough thread on CV. I found this hard way and had to find another set for front end as wheel bearings gone. At the same time I have installed 5th gen driveshafts and all good so far.

Brake flexi hoses staying from 4 gen.

Cheers.
I have a set of 5th gen drive shafts to use and my 4th gen isnt ABS so all good for me Marius

Hey dino, did you gonahead with the swap?
Im in the middle of doing mine and hit a road block.
my 4th gen is non abs.. and fitting 5th gen abs spindles on the rear.
but it seems when I put the brake disc on it sits alot further in and rests on the heat sheild and wont line up with the caliper.

Im I missing a washer for the rear ?
