You can use either the Protege ones or the Probe/MX-6 ones.
The only difference is the rear strut mount on the protege being a pillowball, adjustable camber plate, and the MX-6/Probe ones are a solid plate...like OEM strut mounts with no adjustability.

the newer proteges use the same mount bolt pattern as the mx3 and mx6?

the newer protege ones wont fit in the rear. the fronts will, but the rears only have one bold hole for the rear hubs, rather than two.
YES CUSCO makes rear camber plates for the mx. there like 250 USD, call Corksport they can get them.

i was actually referring to when slammed 6 said protege coilovers will fit also but the rear comes with a camber plate.
would the rear camber plate fit if we drill another hole in the chassis? i dont mind putting 1 hole on each side to fit them.
before camber plates some cars slotted the strut mount holes for camber adjustment.

when using the springs that come with the coilovers, is there any wheel/tire clearance issues when using the stock wheels?

i'd love to know how this turned out... if it turned out great you should do a short write up and have them add it to the suspension FAQ
