they do not. the only coilovers from tein for the base lancer are the basics and superstreets (damper adjustable).
also, keep in mind, for the es, you'll need the oz mounting plates. search around and you can find more info on this. not a big deal, but it could come back and bite ya if you don't plan ahead and can't install them because you forgot a small part

sorta off TEIN topic but what other companies make coilovers for the lancer ES.. are the TEIN the best quality in your opinion?

for coilovers for the es in a reasonable price range(we are talking full suspension setup, springs and shocks) tein is the only one that has been confirmed and we know fits.
there is another, but no one has tried it yet, and frankly the price compared to 3n1's price on the tein basics is negligable.
basically there are 3 options for the base lancer: tein basics, tein superstreets, and jic magics (which cost what, two grand?)
lemme make it easy for you: if you mainly are a street guy, with a few days to the auto-x track, get the basics. if you live your life one powerslide at a time zipping around the auto-x track or road coarse and need the stiff dampning for track days, and softer to take the wife out at night so she doesn't complain, get the superstreets.

basics have adjustable RIDE HEIGHT, anywhere from 1"-3" drop i believe (complete specs on tein's website)
superstreets (ss) have the same adjustable ride height, and adjustable dampning, from level 1 to 16 (i think 16 is the softest.........or hardest.........i forget
)
the basics are an 8 on the SS's dampning scale, so that should give ya an idea.
the basics are a bit harshy ride wise than stock, but not bad unless you have bad roads. just be careful and you'll be fine. and honestly, its worth the tiny bit more bumpiness just to feel the car stick a solid turn with NO body roll

good question. i think someone bought all the mounting hardware from the dealer for like 60 new, so i'd look into that. frankly i odn't know what you have and what you need, but there are literally a ton of threads on just this issue, so search and i know you'll find what you need
