The designs are not that much different either. Two bolts keep the caliper on the hub, the hub is pretty much the same design. Okay, the sizes are different and that keeps them from being interchangeable, but to say that the SVX is completely incompatible with other Subaru parts is, in my opinion, a fairly inaccurate statement. Okay, the brakes don't mod easily. But, in other places on the car, parts from other Subarus look very similar or are exactly the same.

When I said almost nothing is compatible, I meant when in comparison to legacy and impreza parts being able to be swapped between those 2 models. Yes, there are a few random things here and there but overall, there really isn't much.
