Alrite, are the front endlinks of a MP3/MSP different from the endlinks of a Regular protege. I know the rears are different but what about the front, cause i know stock protege's are pretty long. But i need a definite answer.
 
hmmm. thats a really good question. you got me there buddy. Although I dont have an answer for your question, but may I ask what are you planning?

P.S. there is always an option of aftermarket adjustable end-links
 
Yes they are very different. If the car came with the Tokico shocks (blue ones) then the swaybar end links are short. Might be the same length as the rears....but I've never actually measured them.

If the the car doesn't have the Tokico shocks, then the swaybar end links are long. About 2 inches longer.

When I put in Mazdaspeed front shocks I had to replace my front end links with AWR adjustable's and I really like them. Good quality!

So, if I'm reading your post right, the Mazdaspeed endlinks are shorter than the LX/DX ones? If so, when I lowered my car, using Tokico HP's, I should've swapped the endlinks too? If so, I think you just solved all the suspension noise in the front of my car. lol

P.S Sorry for the threadjack. (jacked)
