I have a question because I'm planning on trading in my car for a U.S. Lancer. What is the difference between the OZ rally and the ES? I will upgrade my car in the future such as a turbo upgrade and a body kit. I will be buying a manual tranny. Any thoughts on which one to buy? The ES or the OZ rally? Or is there a difference between 2001 to 2003?

Thanks to all you Lancer fans

Too late...


EDIT: Lucky thing I'm not a moderator of this forum

DOUBLE EDIT: Ok... so I went over the top, but seriously, try browsing instead of searching. I went to the US Lancer General forums and after flipping through a few pages of threads I found it:

What da he** I'm new to this forum I guess I don't know how to search or something.

Ok , before you say to search, i did a search before i posted, here are my queries:

os and es (two letter not accepted)

2001 2003 (no info i wanted)

OZ rally and es (two letter word not accepted)

Difference (browse through page 6 didn't get any info)

Any other key words I should put?


Sorry I'm kinda dumb at computers ... mikenuts86 thank you for your help.

i don't think the wing's standard, i'm pretty sure it's an option but i could be wrong.....

mikenuts86

mikenuts86

Are the suspensions different also? I found something about the Eibach springs for OZ will not fit the ES. Is this true, look at the Eibach springs option in this website:

http://www.roadracemotorsports.com/lancer.htm

Also, I heard there's not much option regarding body kits for this car. ARe there not much option in the interior as well?

SO my question really is:

Which is better for upgrading/customizing in the future, the OZ or the ES? Thanks again i hope nobody flames

Mr. Moderator thank you!! Although those are differences between "OZ and LS", "LS and ES". I was looking for "ES and OZ".

Well to help the future lancer enthusiast, I've found these links and included them here:

To clarify, the spoiler is not included on an OZ - it's an option. It does come with every OZ that has a sunroof though, which is an option not available on the ES. That makes the OZ the only one where you can get a stick and a sunroof ;-)

I'd go with the OZ personally (and I did). For $2000 more, you're getting much nicer wheels, a much nicer interior, and a much nicer body kit. Personally, I really don't like Lancers without any body kit and I'm a big fan of the OZ kit. Also, I think the non-OZ interior just looks a lot cheaper (even though quality is the same) and the OZ rims are a far better deal than the steel rims on an ES.
