Black ES brought his car down. As I suspected ,the ES lack the mounting post for the swaybar in the rear. I am going to check with Mitsu to see if we can buy that part and thus have bars for ES models. If that are expensive, we might be able to make them.

Rock, I had been hoping you'd beable to answer the question: Does the ES/LS/OZ share the rear struts and such with the Mirage? This would enable the ES owners to use Mirage kits, and seeing as you were the first vendor to step forward... pressure is on you. j.k. Thanks for whatever help you can give.

Uranium, please, please read the rest of the thread.

OK, struts are different than OZ we know that. Don't have a Mirage to compare the ES stuff to. What I did do is figure out sway for you ES guys. Need to buy parts from dealer to make it work. So......
ES can use our big sway bar. It will cost more because we need to add parts to the kit. Call it $219 for ES sway bar kit. I'm trying you guys.

Rock, I know, and completely appreciate it. I hope you don't consider my repeated questions ingratitude. I'm glad to see at least one vendor trying to help out the ES crowd, given the minor set backs we've been facing... if I could get the Mirage info for you, could you compare?

Sky, I was able to confirm that the mirage and ES use the same front parts, but, I couldn't confirm in the same manner that the Mirage and OZ share the same rear components. That is really what I'm trying to find out. if that is the case, then the ES can use a complete Mirage kit, seeing as the ES and OZ share the same components. So, what's the deal on that?
