ME_Andy I have looked into this as I was very interested in getting the active air dam shutter system myself. I recently was at the dealer having my oil changed and I spoke with the technician responsible for their specialty work (turbo/EV) and he said as was stated above that each car is programmed to its specific components, and he also thought it was cool I was trying to frankenstein my cruze. So if you wanted the air dam shutter system you would have to install the eco ECM. On top of that if you were to install the eco ECM you would also need the transmission obviously because of its different gear ratios.

However the lowering springs, eco rims, lower air dam (non shutter system) are all direct swaps between the models. I'm not sure if the manual trans is compatible across to the 1.8L though.
