...or AWR ones.

Yep, a new set of endlinks and some home depot brackets, and you're stylin'.

Mazdaspeeds = quiet. AWR = the opposite of quiet.

yes it will.

I had the MSP rear sway with stock msp brackets (but not stock msp bushings) for a few months before I got the AXR clunk fix bracket.. it hadn't even developed a clunk problem yet, but I heard something that sounded like a clunk once when I was autocrossing so I said screw it and bought the clunk fix bracket when it was on sale.

for a p5 the following will work:
- msp sway bar
- msp bushing brackets
- msp bushings (get new ones if it comes with old ones)
- msp rear endlinks (same as 99-00 front endlinks).

The MSP rear subframe is reinforced where the brackets mount to it (because they realized the error of their ways with the clunk-a-holic MP3 and did what they could without a complete redesign on a 1 model year car).. like I said, I only had it that way for a few months and maybe the subframe is too weak and long term issues could come up.
