Used the search link! What like of mazda is it (protege,mx6,etc). Here are some pics of the strut/spring assembly from an acura integra dont have any pics from a protege.

watch your language and tone newbie..I am a moderator here, and we dont tolerate that language. FYI I have done installs on both cars and the parts are not the same,nor are the part#'s....Just because bolts may match up doesnt mean you should just bolt something onto your car...you can dramatically change the geometry of your suspension,thus changing the way your car handles. Someone could decide to take your advice,bolt something onto their car, making it dangerous to drive. This is not recommended.
