Re: 4th gen rear fitment
Only difference in 3rd gen rear and 4th gen rear (dimension wise) is the extra length in the axles, so yes.

Re: 4th gen rear fitment
Those are TERRIBLE.
Don't put the extra little brace looking thing on there, it will just end up breaking something (hopefully just itself, and not anything that's actually worth having) in case it doesn't just spin around the housing.
They are only offered for sale so that people who have had leaf springs their entire lives (which benefit from something like that) will have something to spend their money on when they get one of these cars but don't understand how the rear suspension works. They don't work. I didn't even know they still offered those, as most people, even the die-hard 1st and 2nd gen guys, have got the message by now.
The actual control arm part is good; just, those stupid little bracket things and the clamps that go around the axle tube, are WRONG. Leave them off. Or, if you haven't put them on yet, return them and get just the CAs only without all that other garbage.
