If you are using your HHR as a dailey driver the stock front bar is adaquate enough! If you are doing some weekend rally racing then you might consider a thicker bar! And by the way it is a "PITA" to change out !

All HHRs come with a front antiroll bar.

The SS has one unit and all other spec HHRs have another.

It is a royal pain to change the bar, especially if youre auto.

Who offers a front bar?

It's there ! See the rods that go to the lower control arm, on the other end is the bar. It is hiding from you

Your stock front bar is 25 mm. No need to go bigger. Larger will just make understeer worse.

BTW, GM hid it on you!! Look for the sway bar link off the strut that goes to the end of the bar. Follow the bar under the car.... Report back.

If yours doesn't have a Front Sway Bar you should be intitled to a Rebate ! All HHR's that I know of come with a Front Sway Bar ! Also that is why it is a "PITA" to install, it is tucked pretty well !

Yep, they all have a front sway bar. Look for the links off the front spendel aera and follow them to the sway bar.
