Im just about to order a progress rear sway bar from the USA,
http://www.progressauto.com/products/searchType/vehicleSearch/year/2002/make/Mazda/model/Protege%203%20_SLASH_%20Protege%205/productID/446

Price is around US$ 150 and its around $50 in shipping.
Does anyone else want to grab one at the same time to cut shipping costs by about $20 each
Progress Auto Group won't ship to Australia themselves so I have found another supplier they suggested.
Im going to order later today/tomorrow so let me know ASAP if you want one.

After all the horror stories I have heard about protegegarage I am certain that I will NOT deal with them,
From looking on the US forums which PG sponsors everytime a negative post is made it seems to disappear. Funny??
Im going to order them tonight, do you think you can get me the money ASAP?

As far as I know you can use stock endlinks, but I am going to buy some adjustable endlinks, most likely whiteline ones though :(

I will call/text you soon.

It does suck that if you post a bad experience with a supplier that it could be deleted.

Yeah. Most forums have a bad mouthing rule as well meaning you can't bad mouth them else where on the forums either.

I have had this rr sway on my car for yrs now. Love it. Car is lowered 1.4 all around and using oem endlinks with tokico illuminas. No issues with fit, noise or strut tabs. Car has 3-wheel motion entering sloped driveways at angles so be aware of the tire lifting to come.
