333418 left front
343423 back

2004-2009 suspensions have the same strut design, but other changes were made in the suspension (spring rates?)

In 2006, the Aveo got a stiffer sway bar. But as far as spring rates, I believe they stayed the same.

so it would be pointless for me to order these? i really dont feel like paying a bunch of money to get oem ones from the dealer.

no they are a direct replacement for you while a little more performance oriented and cheaper.
