H&R springs from 94 mazda 323 on a 92 mx3 gs?

Re: ractive strut tower brace

why wouldn't fit, it's basically the same engine as the 1.8. same size, except maybe for the intake manifold that's different, wich may cause a clearance problem ( not sure). But my guess ( and it's just a guess is that it would fit.<P>and I have the Ractive "too", and it is barely noticeable.
