basically they widened the car 3" changed the chassis but left the suspension alone since it was and still is very good for this car and what it is meant for

some strut applications are slightly diff thou. I know that the Bilstein Sports for the 4th gen arent the same as the Bilstein HD's for the 5th gen. Althou the rep told one HS member that the HD's for the 5th gen are beefier and equivalent to the 4th gen Sport struts. The rep also said that the applications they have should not be interchanged as there were slight differences, but I'm sure some people have installed 4th gen struts in a 5th gen and got it working.
