Rear Trailing arm/ZX2 compatibility

I = Mazdaspeed/ GTR trailing arms
()= ZX2 tubular trailing arms
[]= OEM MX3 trailing arms
[ = maybe MS/GTR???

I know the MX3 ones are of a older design so they are not as strong as the ZX2 arms. BUT I have been told the MS/GTR arms are fairly strong and come in a I beam type configuration. I have found another set that is more of a half I beam which looks like a [ What kind are these? or is there no actual I beam arms and the [ beam arms are MS/GTR arms?????


Between the ZX2 arms and the MS arms which are stronger??


Is there anything else from the ZX2 i can use on a MX3? i seen the calipers and LCA´s are the same. Maybe the brake booster is of a better design since it is newer as well? I found a few ZX2´s that are pretty mint at my local pick and but no MX3´s

I know both chassis are very similar with the ZX2 having improvments over and MX3 because of its age.....

Front calipers are the same, LCA are not the same though, they are the same as any other escort. Shorter then MX3 LCA and have a different sway bar mount.

All 3rd gen escorts with rear disc brakes (rare) have basically the same rear calipers as a miata. Meaning you can use any miata performance pads in them, and that is confirmed on my own car.

IDK anything about the trailing arms, but is it really necessary to change them?
