I'm pretty sure they aren't compatible. If I remember right, the OZ and ES have different suspension... I know they have different wheel bearings. And the OZ and Ralliart have comparable suspension. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I THINK some parts of the OZ and RA suspension are compatible. But I am just going of my bad memory here.

Something is different about the ES suspension, but I'm not sure what it is. The OZ and Ralliart suspensions are interchangable.

Well, if one was to take the entire OZ front suspension assembly and put it onto an ES, it'll work fine. Same with an Evo's. Not familiar with the Ralliart fronts, but I've read that the Ralliart rears will bolt-up to my OZ just fine.

They are the same, just the spring rates for the front on the es are different. Call up or email the people at rrm. I got an answer from them about it. Everything is the same between them except the rates on the RA are different because of the bigger and heavier motor. The shocks are the same, the mounts are the same. The only thing I have found different is how the calipers mount. The holes are father apart on the front. I still uses a spindle that mounts the same. On the rear, the rear drums are replaced with a backing plate, ebrake with it, and a different bearing to make the rear disk brakes. Everthing behind the backing plate like the trailing arms, and whatnot are the same on all models. If you put the ra on an es or oz, it will probably not lower it any because it is meant to handle more weight, or I could be wrong.
