4th gen suspension on a 5th gen

Im getting a 5th gen and i was wondering if i could swap my 4th gen illumina springs and struts to the the 5th gen.

I know i will have to enlarge the front strut holes and rear strut mounts.

What i was wondering is what strut mounts do i need in the rear? Also has anyone swapped their suspensions over from the 4th to 5th gen?

Im looking for people that have information in this subject so if you dont please dont post.

The 4th gen rear should just bolt up just fine. If not, Just use the stock strut mounts that are already on your 5th gen if there still good.

I have 4th gen rear coilovers on my 5th gen right now.
