Looking for stiffer suspension on my FWD Trax

I've got a FWD Trax and I'm hunting for stiffer suspension, I really don't mind lowering it, just want it firmer, the [problem is, I can't find much made for the Trax, does anyone know if it shares suspension with the Sonic, Cruze, or something else?
 
That's a great question! Your Trax shares its platform with the Sonic and Encore, but it doesn't align with the Cruze. While some components, like strut mounts, might be interchangeable, full coilovers won't fit without mods.

Are you looking to just stiffen the ride, or do you want to lower it as well?
 
@HawKINS I for sure know people who run Sonic coilovers with a little tweaking, especially up front. If you're okay with minor mods, that's probably your best bet. But vouching @2CheeVee's good call on the Encore. Rear springs from the AWD version are slightly firmer too if he wants a bit more bounce control without going too low.
