Does anyone know FOR SURE if the rear sway bar brackets used on the MP3 have the same shape and the holes are in the same location as the brackets used on any other 3rd gen. Protege (DX,LX, ES, MP5)?????? I know the brackets will be bigger to accomodate the larger 20 mm rear sway bar, but are the holes in the same location? I remember someone saying that the rear sub frame on the MP3 is different than the stock Protege. I heard that it is reinforced and also that the holes are in different locations. Does anyone know anything about it? I would order the bracket from my dealer, but it costs $26 and they want the money firts since it is special oreder and I do not feel like paying $26 just to look at it and find out that it will not work for me. Thanks!
 
I went to my dealer the other day and they have a booklet that is advertising all of the mp3 parts for normal protege owners. So i would guess that they will fit or atleast mazda has brackets that will work.

From my understanding the end links are just beefier versions of the stock end links to handle the incresed force produced from the larger diameter roll bar, otherwise they are exactly the same.
