So did you take it for a drive? What do you think of it? Did you feel the difference? Enquiring minds want to know...so I'll ask. :lol: :rof: :nuts:

Sorry I forgot to mention the details of the install process.
The install was very easy in my opinion. Took about an hour total.
Unfortunately as I was just finishing up, it got real dark and started to rain.
I decided to wait until tomorrow to do the test run. I will post my results.

WOW!!

I'm not doubting or slamming but its only 4 bolts. Took me about ten minutes. I think most here who've done it were about the same. All you should have had to do was crawl under and bolt it up. With the ramps it should have been a breaze.

Did you do other stuff too?

Do the bolts go into existing holes?

Yes, the holes are there from the factory. The install kit has 2 narrow plates with 2 welded nuts on each plate. They slide into the rear suspension housing and the bolts for the sway bar secure to them.

Therein lies the problem. Those damn plates can be a little tricky...especially if you don't have very nimble fingers...and I've got some arthritis starting up, so it was a little tougher for me than some others. :lol:

Installed mine without use of ramps or jacking up.. was quite simple.

The important thing though is that its done and your HHR will handle MUCH better!
