someone had told me that the ES and the OZ are the same except for suspension. is this true? if so, then if i buy a part thats main for the OZ it will fit on my ES? like a catback or something else? this is buggin me cuz i really like to kno

 

the es does not come with a rear sway bar that the oz does, but the oz one is crap so that would need to be replaced if you have an oz that you want to upgrade the suspension. the stock exhaust on the es and oz are the same. any exhaust that is compatible for one will be compatible for the other. the oz has a rear lip so sometimes the exhaust tip may be too big and melt the lip a little so you have to be careful. other than the sway bar i dont know of anything else that is different other than cosmetic stuff.

 

Cosmetically they are not the same but as far as engine and suspension go I am not sure.I work for an exhaust shop and we do carry Magnaflow catback systems for the OZ edition only.I think the exhaust may be different.

 

you can also do a seach bc this has been answered many many times b4 with much better explanations

 

lots of times

 

thunder im pretty sure they are the same. dont answer unless you are sure about what you are saying.

 

There's nothing different internally, only a different body kit, two more speakers, a stock spoiler and the sway bar. The rims are different as well: ES is 14" rims with a 4 X 100 while the OZ is 15" rims with a 4 X 114.

 

so if i buy a catback exhaust system for my es thats made for an oz it wouldnt matter cuz itll fit anyway? if so thx!

 

isnt the es have like an all grey interior? the oz has black with metallic pieces. and the ls has like wood grain i think. so its not the same at all. all the pieces can be switched out from an oz to a es, but the colors are different and the stitching on the oz is different too.

 

omg i thought this was been discuss before...
es 14" 4x100 black steel wheels with hub cap, no ground effect(no front bumer lip, side skirt, rear bumper lip), gray interor, gray seats, black gauge cluster, no rear sway bar, front strut differ than OZ(mirage suspension setups), EVERYTHINGELSE IS THE SAME.
OZ 15" 4x114.3 OZ wheels, ground effect includec(front bumer lip, side skirt, rear bumper lip), black interor, black/dark blue seats, white face gauge cluster, has rear sway bar, front strut differ than ES, EVERYTHINGELSE IS THE SAME

im pretty sure thats all the difference

 

I dont think the rear strut bar on the OZ is crap. If I am not mistaken the aftermarket bars are worse because they are more prone to crack.

 

Differences (for the NTH freaking time): Front suspension, lack of rear sway bar, no body kit, different wheel lug pattern (4x100 / 4x114.3), interior (gray or tanm, no "sport touch" steering wheel, shifter knob, trim pieces, gauges), paint choices, lack of cruise control. Mechanically beyond that, the cars are all the same.
