the MSP links are longer. those are not the fronts, because the fronts have opposing studs- the rears have the studs on the same side.

Thank you for that clarification.
So the front's are the same length & the rears are longer?? Why would that be? I was already looking into new rear endlinks, even tho mine are almost brand new. But hell, I should have just got regular protege ones...
the sway bars are different geometry between the ES and the MP3. because where the MP3 bar is located, it needs longer links.
Running a FWD car with a smaller front swaybar or disconnecting the front sway bar completely is nothing new in the autox world. People wouldn't do that if it made their car handle worse.
I mean my geometry is not even close to being parallel with the ground... I need ~2" shorter. Granted I'm lowered about 1.5" beyond stock MSP/MP3, so that's probably all that is.
How is the ES' sway bar mounted? I've never seen a pic of it.
i dont have a picture of the stock es bar mounted, but it curves upward in between the control links, and extends towards the rear of the car. the "Arms" on the ES bar are about twice as long as the MP3 ones.
are you sure you NEED 2" shorter endlinks? do you have a pic of your rear bar configuration? the stock MP3 endlinks are probably going to be just fine.
I have MSP/MP3 endlinks on it currently. It's fine how it is, it's stiff. I 3 wheel cutting into driveways and such. But it could use an inch or 2 of adjustment to be parallel and give the proper pre-load.
so i need just 4 new end links from MSP 2003 and AWR bushing and brakets ( i will put at the same time my new EIBACH pro kit ) all this will make i nice street suspention

what is the length of the MSP endlinks stud to stud?
AWR adjustables? Hmmm... I have a short list of things I am going to buy first, but I would be interested in these down the road. (detect)
