If you want to install a specific version all you have to do is target that version such as npm install @angular/cdk@4.0.0 . In your case

npm install @angular/{common,compiler,compiler-
 cli,core,forms,http,platform-browser,platform-browser-dynamic,platform-
 server,router,animations}@4.0.0

Although, I don't understand why you believe Angular v4 is more stable than Angular v5. Angular v5 is stable and by choosing to target a lower version you may end up using API's that are deprecated in later versions (in this case v5). I would recommend staying with Angular v5.
