is it even possible? they are both on the theta platform, but one the vue is short wheelbase and the equinox is long wheelbase, and even then I don’t know if the theta platform vehicles are all parts compatible

X5 M for your time

Because of the extra weight, it’s going to be even more “slammed”. That said, if it’s cheap, go for it.

Lordy me, what?! I would think the longer control arms might call for lower rates + longer(ish) travel. You’d probably also get some rub, no way can that Chevy be lighter than a Saturn without considerable shedding.

If I were you I’d get a whole donor Redline.

So I guess it’s not a perfect bolt on swap, that’s all the motivation for me to throw it in the “don’t do it” idea pile :P

Or go crazy... it’s not like you’d be losing much in terms of cash, just potentially a lot of time with a very strange project on jackstands.
