Stabalizer Bars on stock?

On the Mazda USA website it says that front and rear stabalizer bars are standard on all trims. Are these the same as strut and sway bars? Any input would be appreciated, thanks fellas!

stabilizer bars are also called sway bars, anit-sway bars, anit-roll bars,... strut bars are different.

sway bars will prevent the car fron leaning in a corner. strut bars tie the strut mounting points together to provide a more ridged framing system for your suspension to work within.

I think our cars do come with front and rear stabilizer bars, which are the same as sway bars i think. But they're not the same as strut bars, which goes across the top of the engine and only the MP3 and P5 come stock with those. The MP3 or AWR sway bars are just thicker than stock if you want better handling.

Not 100% sure if what I said is correct but that's how I understand it.

Yes, they do come with stabilizer bars, but they are not as beefy (thick) as the ones you would find on an MP3/aftermarket modified car.
