No, 5th gen is wider.

There's also extra studs on the 5g top hats at the front.

Depends.
Front and rear are interchangeable between 4G and 5G.
TypeS strut brace is different, you need either TypeS top hats or coilovers with the correct stud count.

How did you manage to do this

I had a GAB front upper brace that was taken off a 5th that fitted straight on my 4th? Unless it was a 4th brace that had been modded to fit the 5th in the first place.

My ebay special front brace I had on my 4th is now fitted to my 5th, just needed to relocated the brake reservoir slightly

This is excellent news 
so many threads on various forums state they don't fit. Cheers for the info.
