Would it be possible to swap a 2002, or so, VUE suspension with my 99 sc1.
I want to get some more wheel well room for bigger tires and get some more
ground clearance, to drive through copious amounts of snow without
plowing through (well, to some extent). The tires I would put on would
probably not be bigger that a stock VUE, and I am aware of potential tire
rubbing on fenders, etc... I'm pretty much just interested in the suspension
swap and if it would work. I know they do it for Subaru's, also a unibody
construction. Thanks.

If you have the money ... you can do it or have someone do it for you. You can do just about anything if your willing to pay. whats in your wallet?

I mean, would it take custom fabrication? or could I "drop" it in with out
many problems.

No it will not drop in. Not evan close to dropping in. Not in the front, not in the back, not the transmission, not the engine, not the struts, not the swaybars. Not a bit of it drops in. So again, whats in your wallet?Edited by: sw2cam

It would be cheaper to get the $1500 AMR coilovers and crank them to full height.
