I have the AWR 19 mm bar for sale for $80. I also have the stock ES endlinks for $30 for the pair. The ES endlinks are shorter and stronger then the DX endlinks. The AWR bar works great, but I have the RB setup. If anyone is interested, e-mail me at:

ZoomZoomH,
how did you get the RB installed? are you using the stock crossmember? did you need anything else besides the bar and endlinks?
I want to just install the RB REAR sway bar, but the guys from the dealer said that it was not a straight bolt on and that I would need to buy the whole kit which included the different rear subframe so I ordered the kit from Mazda and had them do it. I never bother to look so I do not know what the kit included and what they actually installed. I ckecked and i do have the 2 red sway bar in the front and rear, buy I know I wander about the rear subframe.

according to biknman (who owned a yellow MP3 for a short time before it was wrecked, and from which my rear sway bar came from), the mounting brackets and the mounting points for the rear sway bar on the rear crossmember of the MP3 and the ES is totally different (which your dealer confirmed).
I used the STOCK mounting bracket and the STOCK bracket rubber bushings from my ES to mount the racing beat bar. To do so, I had to TRIM the rubber bushings to fit the thicker bar, and then install the bar back on. The endlinks were a direct bolt-on replacement, no additional modifications necessary.
