No.
SVX struts are unique.

This has been discussed so many times. You can only use SVX struts.

I recall seeing someone redrilling their strut tower to fit the other Subaru bolt patterns. I don't know what that does as far as structural rigidity and overall integrity are involved, but I'm sure it opens the SVX up to a world of options.

This still won't solve the fact that our knuckles are significantly larger than other subarus. They won't fit on the bottom either.

They'll fit just fine, provided you do the work needed to make 'em fit.

If your asking if you can be a parts replacer then no, you need to do some work to make them fit.
