      Question Curious about Coilovers

      I was just curious, if somebody knows or can tell if a Ford Focus coilovers could fit into a 1st gen. Aveo?

      A friend knows somebody who did this modification to a "Chevrolet Corsa" (As known in Mexico, Latin America) which I have been told has the same suspension as the Aveo, and as far as I know, no modifications were made to make them fit.

      Can anybody confirm or deny this with your experience?

      Try to find a picture of the struts and rear shocks if the look similar they might work with a little work. We only find new parts buy research and chance.

      having owned a focus, i dont see how they could fit without modification.

      the corsa stuff does kind of sorta fit, its a daewoo too. I think the rear is too low, and the front is too high (or vice versa) but the adjustability allows you to level out.

      That's what I thought, but let me do some research with my friend and I'll let you know.
