I searched around this site for a while, and also the internet, but couldn't find much information for what is interchangable between an escort and a protege. Most importantly a 96 protege. I live in Alaska and there just aren't that many protege's around but there are tons of escorts. So if I'm looking for used parts I'm out of luck and if I want new then it costs a load to get them here. Right now I'm just mainly interested in the suspension and brakes, but after that I'll move on untill I cover most of the car. Thanks for any help on this.
