yes, those are them. Depending on what his shipping charge is, thats a good deal. and don't be fooled, they may list for $189, but shipped to your door is ~$170 from Southwest Ford. Although you will still need to order the front thrust bearings from Southwest Ford (or another Ford dealer) anyway.
the benefit is better handling and a more closely matched valving for stiffer performance springs.
Then go here to install them.

I want those too.
Would that southwest ford sell the struts to the public? I live in Dallas (I know they are in Weatherford), and if it is cheaper, I would rather just drive over there to get them no rather than wait for them to be shipped.

Nope, I have them on my 323. Nothing different from the protege swap. Aside from grinding of the thurst bearing mounts, it's practically like an OEM replacement. I also have the ZX2 eibach lowering springs.Dan

Shoulda ordered them from the same place, pretty good price on them (at least not any more expensive that anywhere else).
Though I hear the H&R springs for the MX-3 have a stiffer spring rate front and rear. Those would be nice tooDan

IIRC, these are the spring rates.
Eibach front = 180#
MX3 H&R front = 200#
Eibach rear = 150#
MX3 H&R rear = 180#
