[Maz2001MP]

I believe the LX and DX came with a similar set-up. (Weak)

The ES upgraded to 5-lug wheels, and added a rear sway-bay.

Also in '01, there was the MP3 which had upgraded struts, springs, sway-bars, and a front strut tower brace.

If you have a DX, LX or ES and you have blue struts and red springs, you have the MP3 suspension package.

the package also includes the sway bar

Umm, DX and LX had swaybars too....the the ES just got a bit stiffer springs and struts

The ES had "Sport tuned" suspension according to Mazda, so this is what he has

I was under the impression that the DX and LX did NOT have a rear sway-bar, but were equipped with a front one.

MSP Springs, Protege 5 Strut Bar, Mazdaspeed 5 Way adjustable Struts, and MSP Swaybars....plan on switching all my endlinks to solid heim joint endlinks next

I wound up getting Tokico HP's and some TEIN s techs. The rear sway bar is there, it is tiny like you said. I do get alot of compliments from sti , mustang and wrx owners on how my car handles from stock. Besides most of my friends STI's have coilovers, a turboback, and a piggyback ECU.
