    Default Sway Bar Spacers MS to MZ swap

    I've reviewed a number of posts that talk about using spacers to provide a better fitment of the mazdaspeed rear bar to the mazda 3 endlinks.

    Does anyone have any pics, or something general off the web I can look at so I have some idea of what I need to buy to ensure a good fitment? It'd be greatly appreciated.

    If you could advise the size, that'd be a bonus as well.

    Thanks in advance for your help guys!

    MS3 = 12mm endlink, MZ3 = 10mm endlink

    Thanks so much guys for the help. I've gone to the guys in our workshop in our building and they're going to take the bar and size it for a 12 mm fitting with a 2 mm thickness copper or stainless tube. They also added they'd trim it close to the bar as possible so the bolt goes through and doesn't have any overlap past the bar.

    I appreciate you're input tremendously. Hopefully it holds out, if not will look to obtaining MSP3 swaybar links.

    What would I be if I didn't show pics to follow up on my gratitude. I hope the pic pans out.
