Yes, but you'll need longer radius rods and steering rods. Bender has chromoly radius rod kit that was cheaper than most oem or aftermarket steel and aluminum ones.

the rears bolt right in and you dont not need all those other parts listed above for the fronts. you will need different trnasfer rods in the rear or lengthen your current stock set. as for the front, if you have ohlins all you do is purchase the shock rod extensions from advatage edge. if you dont you'll need the adjustable front shock mounts from bender, hauck, or maxximum performance. the clevis style mount on the srx makes it hard to adapt the viper front shocks. there are alot of posts on this subject on t.y.net, do a search and research your needs until you are satisfied you have all your concerns addressed. ski

The shocks will NOT work on the front end of an srx. The shocks on a srx mount lower in the bulkhead with eyelets on the shocks (not "forks") If you install viper shocks in the srx bracket by jimmie rigging a safe connection you will have a nose pointing straight up. I have made long travel work on an srx, but it never really worked, and you do need radius rods as well. (do the math)
I would purchase the pioneer perfomace long travel kit for your srx, and you will have amuch better riding sled than you do now.(Under 350 bucks)
PS: You can long travel an sx to be an sxr because they utilize the same bulk head with "ears"
Good luck
