Would OZ Tein Springs Fit on my ES??

hey i was interested in buying some Tein springs from ebay to lower my car but most of the descriptions either say OZ or EVO. so i was wondering would the oz rally springs work/fit just as good on my 03 ES?? any suggestions/comments would be great, peace.

Progress makes springs for the ES or you can save your money and buy full tein coilovers. I've heard if you get the OZ spring perches you can use OZ springs so that's an option too.

the front shocks on the oz and es are different, if i remember correctly. so youd have to change out the whole thing and not just the mount if you wanna just get springs for an oz on your es. and i cant believe everyone hasnt jumped all over this guy.......cause this has been covered MANY times before, just SEARCH.

my reccomendation would be to not waste your time or money on springs and go with a full coilover setup. and if its too expensive for you, then just save your money a while. trust me, its worth it.

actually I was completating on these too...i'm not a noob and I did search (hehe)...but i'm still a lil confused.

To make OZ springs work on the Es suspension I read....

oz springs on es = Upper Spring perches

coilover setup on es = Upper strut Mounts w/ bearing

Can someone point out on this picture which is what???

well basically on the picture, on what's circled is the upper MOUNTS and BEARING, so is the thing under it the upper SPRING perch?

and that's all I need to get OZ aftermarket springs on my ES suspesion?

the parts you have circled are what you need in order to fit those coilovers. then im sure you would need them as well as the upper spring seat if you want to fit oz springs. but im pretty sure the entire shock is different so you would have to replace the whole front setup.
