Yep, they are interchangeable (nice one Honda). I went the 'other way' and installed 5th gen shocks and springs into my 4th Gen - the only difference was that the 4th gen had a small mounting bracket for the brake pipe which was absent on the 5th gen, but this was quickly solved with a large tie-wrap

... and my experience is identical to Dobbs's above. Just did it last weekend.

I think the shocks and springs actually have different part numbers from Honda - maybe different spring rates or something, but they appear to work OK.

(I have a set of Tokico shocks lying in the garage, and I notice that the guy I get them from must've cut off the ring that supports the brake-hose brackets from his original 4g shocks and stuck them on. Similar thing would work with a set of 5g shockers.)
