MP5/Sedan suspension

I need to know if the MP5 has the same suspension as the sedan protege? If so....what year sedans will have the same suspension.

the same year model parts will interchange.....the only real difference is with the MP3 and the MSP have different struts...bigger sway bars.....and in some cases different endlinks for the sway bars. you can retro fit your P5 with these parts if you like. 2001 thru 2003 it all interchanges.

How much would that cost?
I'd guess 2 arms and about 6 legs...

I didn't know an MP5 had a suspension... wouldn't the airbags pop when you pull the trigger?

The Protege/5 application still says "coming soon" on their website... But it looks like it will cost about $2100 for the kit.

Just a little more detail about what SirNuke said...

All 99+ Pros have swaybar endlinks that attach to mounting tabs on the struts. Mazda moved the tabs upwards and lengthened the endlinks on all cars built after mid-2000 EXCEPT the MP3. I honestly don't know much about how this would affect airbag suspension, but this is the only issue affects the fitment of different shocks on 99+ Pros.
