Well as far as I've been told, the MP3 struts have been superceded by the Mazdaspeed struts at the dealer. You may be able to find some at Mazdastuff. Also, Corksport may have some.

well if you already have the MP3 struts on your car then YES you can...but the MP3 struts are not the same as the stock P5 struts...

so if you are still running the stock struts...then that is what you need to replace it with.....

but if you do have MP3 struts on your P5...then the previous suggestion is a good one...go to mazdastuff.com and talk with Richard.

The endlinks are different. Go here...

You will need some shorter endlinks from an MP3 or any 99 to mid 2000 Protege.
