The cases are the same, the internal differential carrier is different however and the SVX uses different axleshafts that will not work in a WRX R160.

that i am aware of, a guy was interested in buying my diff and axles for his wrx cause he wants to do a brembo brake conversion.

i wanted to know if the lengths were the same incase he needed to get a new DS

That would work as long as he uses the SVX R160 and the SVX axle shafts with 05-07 STi rear hubs.

All Subaru R160's are the same size. That's the whole point of the designation.
