well mx-6/probe suspension is different than mx-3, that is why you found no tokico illumina for the mx-3. the mazdaspeed struts are adjustable like you said, the other option is doing the koni strut insert conversion, they are adjuistable

THe mazdaspeed struts are basically KYB Super Specials.

Maybe you can look for some of those instead over there, as I know they are sold in Europe.

Probe/MX6 struts won't interchange without customizing the suspenion, and possibly screwing up the suspension geometry.
