Hey guys,
I am going to get my spindles and some other stuff powdercoated but I dont want to pull my car apart to do this. I have spare spindles but not rear suspension. Is the RS and GS using the same rear arms? There are alot of guys parting out GS cars and just wanted to know if I can use it...P.S I have rear disc brakes off a GS.

Apart from the disc brakes I believe the only difference in suspension is the rear tie bar. The GS has one, the RS doesn't.

Im pretty sure the spring rates are different. There are like 4 different spring rate sets for the 90-94 Protege. I figure on at least 2 for the MX-3.

I am just wondering about the suspension arms. Any ideas? Mazdaspeed only makes one set for the MX so I am guessing they are the same.

All the links (trailing/lateral) should be same. 96+ rear anti roll bar supposed to be larger by a bit.
