      Heavy Suspension?

      Does anyone know of any coilovers or suspension that the aveo can use to handle excessive weight? I do car audio competitions and I was unable to get the F350 Springs to work correctly.

      Just seeing if anyone has any ideas, I am sitting around 600+ lbs in the trunk (without passengers...or dead bodies).

      Its for the 2005 Sedan

      Spare coilovers

      So how would I put that on, just go opposite of the current helix?

      it would replace your shocks. using the shock mounts. you would just need to adjust the coilover spring to crush just below or delayed of the factory spring..


      here: but without the factory spring..

      Ok is there a DIY overview, and how much would they cost me? I will definitely need them for the band pass.

      for you you would just be swapping the rear shocks, but would need to add a washer to the bottom..
