You will need the 5.2 crossbrace, upper pod plate, damper tube assemblies and hardware. Use the 12R5.2 kit manual and catalog to confirm the part numbers.

The 5.2 upper pod plate bolts on the the 5.1 pod without issue and you may want to trim the battery support tabs to allow the battery to be moved back further in the car.
I was able to do this as well. I actually cut the length of the damper tubes and pistons a bit but it worked pretty well
