Are there any MP3 owners out there that would be willing to take a close up pic of the rear sway bar bushing mounts for me send it to me . thanks

I had a MP3 that was totaled so I installed the sway bar on my 99 LX Pro. The mounts on the MP3, mount just a little different from the LX and where bigger. So what I had to do is trim the busing on the LXs OEM mounts for the bar to fit and it was hell getting the bolts back in the LX mounts into the rear sub frame. I used the end links from the MP3 too which are a little short and thicker than the LXs. Note there is very little clearance between the end links and the TTL arms. I have not noticed any interference problems yet and as far as the warning about the tabs on the OEM struts being beefed up I did not have any problems but I was only daily driving I never really pushed it hard. I have Mazdaspeed struts now. I'm probably going to sale the Racing Beat (MP3) bar and get the one from AWR as soon as they work out the mounting stuff and end link question. I have some pics but you really can not see the mounting of the bar.
Good Luck

I would not suggest using the MP3 bar on a Non-MP3 Pro...the reason being is the mounting points on the stock Pros are not meant to take the end link on the MP3 bar thus you have a very likly chance of either breaking the end link or breaking your mount on your suspension which could turn inot a very costly repair..Just get the bars from AWR and the Koni Adjustables when they are released.
