Exclamation Difference Between 2003, 2005?

Was wondering if there is any difference between the 2003, and the 2005 evo 8? Do they have the same specs? What are to prices differences between the two in your areas?

No HIDs unless you get the MR or the $3000+ leather/sunroof/HID package

someone was saying that they were going to upgrade to the 2005 from the '03 and said that he would miss the hid's and another guy replyed and said you can convert your 03 hids to the 05. Does the 05 not come with the hid's?

yeah, you need to get the SSL package to get the fogs or the HID's. I kind of regret it, but I do like my seats as they are and I'm not missing the Infinity subwoofer or sunroof, so... meh.

I saw a 22 mm rear sway in the '05 listed in Sport Compact Car (who named the Evo car of the year AGAIN)... is there a 22 mm rear sway bar in the '03?

Thanks!

Have not heard anything about a rear sway in the '03 but I could be wrong.
