Rear suspension swap.

Im just wondering if anyone has considered swapping their solid rear axle with an independent system like the honda accord. Is it possible?
Thanks

I would never drive a honda.

Im just curious why it wouldnt be possible. They are both front drive cars with a free running rear axles and similar dimensions...

Possible? Yes.

Cost effective? No.

One would have to be a competitive SCCA class driver or higher to even take advantage of such a swap. So does the $4000 or so that it would take to even try such a swap(w/ no guarantee that it would actually be better than before) still sound good?
