Suspension interchangeability
Does anyone know if suspension parts from GC8 or GDB Imprezas can be swapped over to an SVX?

The struts are definitely not interchangeable, and the strut mounts are different too. Swaybars and hubs are different too.

The strut-to-hub bracket on the SVX strut is different than that on other Subarus. I don't know about any similarities of the SVX strut internals to any other Subarus.

Front suspension arms are different as are their mounting points. Front and rear swaybars are different. Rotors and calipers are different.

Everything is completely different. Even the internals of the struts are different. If i recall correctly, the SVX uses Showa struts while other subarus use KYB.
