First, you'll never find a more affordable set of coilovers than these. Modifying a set made for another car would only raise the cost substantially. And Hocrest already looked at that. The obvious donor car would be some sort of Impreza. It can be done, but there are enough differences though that the transplant would not be trivial. Cutting/grinding/welding would be required either for the SVX or the coilovers which would add significant cost and hassle (unless you are a DIY guy with a welder and other tools) over a bolt-on solution. For the average person who just wants an affordable bolt-on solution, something made specifically for the SVX is the way to go.
