ES and LS suspension

ok i have done research on these cars..02' lancers, and i need Evom family help. whats the difference between the ES and LS suspension? i have the LS and i bought a donor ES for parts and was goin to swap suspension but everywhere i search it says they wont swap. i know they have different hubs,rotors and drums but it looks like the struts and shocks are the same to me. does anybody know exactly wont swap from the ES to the LS cause i need the suspension and dont have the money to buy em right now and it would suk to have all that and cant use it. i also need the upper links or arms in the rear if they will swap over mine are squeaking loud kinda embarrassing when driving through parking lots,sounds like this car is 75 yrs old. any help or info is great,,,,thanks

it will all swap over.. not sure if the bolt pattern is different between es and ls but the hubs will swap, you just might not be able to use the same wheels.

Should be okay. As far as I know, it's the OZ that has different suspension.

I have a. 02 ES that we thought since we got it over 2 yrs ago was an LS til 2 weeks ago when ordering parts to redo the entire front end. But in the middle of it all I learned that the LS suspension parts (all but the hubs, bearings, and CV axles) will swap and line up seamlessly and snagged a few parts and a front driver side calliper off a 04 LS that matched perfect also. I haven't had any issues so far. 🤞 Hopefully you will be able to do the same.
