The rear can be bought from SRD, or you if you can find a MX-3 GS or SE, they had one stock. The SRD bar looks nicer, but the design isnt any better than the stock piece off the MX-3 as far as rigidity goes.

The front can be found at Corksport or from "MazdaspeedWest" on this forum. His is a bit stronger than the Corksport offering, but it hangs a bit lower and a few people have had issues with hitting things.
What's the website for SRD? Is there a picture of the rear tie bar? I support the tie bar hangs at the bottom? What's the benefit of f+r tie bars after installing f+r sway bars and f+r strut bars? BTW, I had a custom-made fender bars made too. Pls advise. Thx!

the tie bars will help with turn-in and overall stability. The rear helps slightly for rotation.

I have 3 rear tie bars leftover and will soon be making more front ones. I plan on running another group buy very soon, so the prices will be excellent.

my website (link below my pics) has all the info and pics about the ones i make.

on the site it says 1" and 1" = 2.54cm
so it would have to be 25.4mm
and I thought I sucked at math

So the mx-3 does not have a front lower tie bar? just a rear lower tie bar that will fit the protege.

right, 1" and it has 1.5" endlinks (38mm)
front bar is mandrel bent 4130 chromolly
rear bar is straight and also 4130 chromolly
endlinks are mild steel

very strong stuff! and very light weight too!

i never weighed them, but i doubt they hit much more than a pound each.

If you look closely, you can also see the front bar dangling in my sig pics below.



here's the rear bar
