I am planing to put a bar on the rear of my '08 hhr. If I am not raceing do I want to go to the 1" bar or just use the smaller one for everyday driveing

 

Go with the smaller one.Otherwise you may get a big surprise if you need to make a quick manuever when carrying a load in the car.

 

what would that surprise be?

 

Turbo Tech (supporting vendor) seels a good one. I have installed a red one on mine. Very glad I did. Check them out.

 

Loose in...... loose out .......don't know 'bout the surprise but it'll turn alittle flatter..... but she'll not rotate like she usually would.....need alittle roll to help her rotate thru a turn.......usually more 'roll in the rear helps to rotate into and thru the turn

 

Not knocking the one from TT, but I'm more than happy w/ the one from Progress Tech. I don't think that you would notice any difference between the two for everyday driving.

 

I have a Progressive and I think the only difference is circumference of the bar.

All I know is I LIKE IT and glad I have it!
Can't go wrong with any sway bar.

Yup mine is bigger and it's red

 

The big surprise?Big time oversteer.Spinning out.Leading with the rear end.Loose.Fishtailing.All making for a wet seat cushion moment.

 

I noticed a little bit of over steer after i put mine on... but i figured it had to do with the crap firestones that come stock on the car. does anyone have some good ZR rated tires on with the sway bar? do you still have a loose caboose?
