CrazyCarKid-you'll only really feel the difference when the HHR needs it. 35 miles an hour being stuck behind a hay hauler will not make too much of a diff. The faster you are going and the sharper the turn makes the bar react. Go a little faster on a dry/no sand on/off ramp of a highway and you'll see the reaction of the bar. Just be safe when you do it.

It really is money well spent. Your next small tickent item should be Gorilla Plastic 8000lb Car ramps-makes life a lot easier for me. My spare tire gets in the way of crawling under the HHR if you know what I mean...

 

Came home from work and almost fell over the big box, wife had put it by the front door in entry. Next day I installed the bar (took 8 minutes) using tie wraps to hold it in place and used red thread lock on the bolts. Hardest part was getting under it and working with hands above my head!

Took it out to the freeway and played like Nascar, what a difference I love it!

 

My went in this past Friday. In case anyone wants to see one installed.



Looks like it time to touch the muffler up...

 

have you painted your muffler before, and it has just worn off that much, or is it just dirty?

I haven't taken a look under mine to see how my paint has been holding up.

ugh i need some ramps...

 

I painted it years ago. I used hi temp paint, but apparently it has burned off some.

 

What kind of ramps are those?

 

I think they are Rhino 5000's. I'll double check tonight. I've had them for years.

 

does the front clear your ramps? My dad has ramps and thats how I installed my bar but the the front wont clear them(front bumper hits them) and Ive been looking for some that will.

 

Yep.

 

I wonder if these will fit under the SS front end though? I did see one set that was 56 inches long that I am sure will fit but were $190.00, a bit pricey.
