2010+ Mazda3 parts compatibility with 2nd gen Mazda5?

[MichaelBrown]

Its my understanding that the the Mazda3/MazdaSpeed3 and Mazda5 use the same platform.

I'm trying to make a thread that will confirm all of the parts that will swap over AND be considered an improvement.

Wheels: YES
Brakes: front; YES. rear; ???
Sway bars: front: ??? rear: ???
End links: ???
Springs: ???
Shocks: ???
Strut tower brace: ???

I'll be updating this thread as information is given to me or posted.

Mazda 3 2.5l intake fits the mazda 5

Mazda 5 rear brakes are bigger than the 3. BBK kits designed for the 3 will work though.
