They look just like my AWR endlinks .. they're great cuz of the ease of removal, but kinda noisy.

yeah...take a close look at the AWRs. There's a reason they're noisy. This one will sit flush against the bar and the control arm (no, not the strut. The control arm, where it SHOULD be lol) because of those 'protrusions' so it shouldn't bind / bang around.

I'd definitely like to hear some feedback once you get them installed. The AWR as I said are phenomenal compared to stock, but I could use a noise reduction.

These are for the miata...not the protege. I'm not sure they'd even work with the protege actually, the layout and geometry is completely different

Well .. there's only way to find out

well, here's the verdict: No chance in hell that these will work on the protege. The long version MAY work, but I can neither confirm nor deny. This picture is VERY close to actual size (just a little small). These are seriously short. And seriously sexy



Hopefully I can get them on the car this weekend. My old links are making more and more noise. I'd like to get these in before something breaks...

Just fyi, I traded my FC for a built FB race car. I now have a fully dedicated SCCA tracker with full RB suspension!

It looks like **** on the outside but it runs like new and has a ton of upgrades to get me started. I'm going to start stripping it down here shortly. I'll post pics next weekend (when it's being delivered).

Yeah it runs. The drivers side is a little banged up around the door skin but it'll track straight.

I was looking for a nicer car but I now have 5 vehicles and all of my needs covered.

(2) daily drivers
(1) pick up truck
(1) track car
(1) high powered scooter

and I still get visitation with my MS6 if I need it!
