Some parts are shared among the models.. The TA04 arms and suspension bits can be found on most of the current line, Evo III, TB-02, TA05, and I believe the TRF414 and original 415(?). Now, the new kind, the lightweight suspension found on the Evo IV, can be used for all of those cars as well.

TRF Shocks, aluminum wheel hubs, suspension blocks, and universals can be used in any model (well, relatively.. you still have to watch the shaft lengths), but other than that, there are just specific bits that are borrowed here and there. TA05 has the Evo IV's front bumper brace and Front sway bar, but the 415's rear sway bar (or vice versa), TT-01 can use the Evo IV's aluminum shaft, and little stuff like that.

Hop-ups like shock towers, one-ways, pulleys, motor mounts, etc. are rather specific to the chassis by design, but Tamiya's pretty good about telling you what part can be used on which kits.

edit: I guess you just beat me to the punch, steve!
