New TTR Rear Sway Bar
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I was surprised and got a new TTR sway bar as a gift and installed it late yesterday afternoon.
First impressions are great after only a couple of miles driving. The best way I can describe the changes are the car feels much more "connected" side to side. Even taking turns at low speed I can tell a difference, but I hit one turn going about 55 mph and pulled .7 g's and there was VERY little body roll especially compared to the stock setup. I'm going to go ahead and HIGHLY recommend this to any HHR owner that wants a nice improvement for a great price in the handling department.
On to the super quick and easy install. Drove it over the pit at my Dad's shop and slid the provided brackets into the rear trailing arms and put the four bolts in. No, seriously its that easy. Honestly it took longer to open the shop doors and drive in than it did to install. Took some finished product pics:
I am very satisfied with TTR's product and will be shopping with them again in the future as I add more upgrades to my ride.

good idea sleeper! Aaron is a front bar not really needed on the SS or why do I not see many on the market? Will and SS see a great improvement from this? What is the stock size and comparative stiffness compared to yours?
