      Optra lowering springs

      Does anybody know if Optra springs are the same as Aveo? I found a listing on Kijiji for Optra/Aveo lowering springs and this is the first time I have heard them in the same sentence.

      I'm pretty sure the Optra has an independent rear suspension which would mean different springs all together.
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      I've had so much air under the rears of our old VW's during AutoXs that you could have stuffed a great dane in there!

      My prelude had independent rear suspension and I loved it, it held the road perfectly, then again that was a sportier car than the aveo lol.
