Okay so last night we finally compared a SVX rear strut to an Impreza rear strut. The differences are the Impreza rear is about 2.5 inches shorter which is about where we'd need it after dieting, the mount for the brake line is different and the hub attachement is a little narrower and the top mount is different. In other words it is totally do able provided we can find the right set up now since there are 1000s of stuff out there. I'm even thinking that a insert like the Koni for the WRX rear would go into the stock SVX housing. I think we just found our cheap (at least for the rear) suspension source to make the SVX racer handle amazingly. I don't think it'll help many on the street as a 2.5 inch drop then the standard drop with aftermarket coil springs would put most of ya under the pothole.
