Well believe it or not they are the same as the cobalt :)
We have them on sale right now @ www.TurboTechRacing.com
Manual trans upper engine mounts are $149.99
Auto trans upper engine mount are $189.99
Cobalt manual trans uses the same mount as the HHR manual trans
Cobalt auto trans uses the same mount as the HHR auto trans
We have both ready to ship.
These will help get the power to the ground and help eliminate power loss through sloppy stock mounts. Only side effect is slight vibs at idle.
You may look on www.TurboTechRacing.com under the "cobalt/drivtrain" or you may PM us for more info.

If any of you have ever had solid mounts on a daily driver, you may be in for a big disappointment. The vibration transmitted to the body is often staggering. Some cars are worse than others, but the Ecotek isn't a particularly quiet motor.
There is no loss of power through a flexible motor mount. Generally, racers will go to solid mounts or torque chains to keep from breaking rubber mounts at launch. The price you pay for solid mounts is a lot more shock transmitted to the rest of the driveline. The tires become easier to break loose, and gear and bushing wear is increased due to the loss of "cushioning" in the elastic mounts. Polyurethane mounts are a reasonable compromise and are usually not annoying, depending on the durometer of the poly compound used. An Ingalls "stiffy" is also a possiblity if they choose to make one for this platform.

These would be the poly style. The Ingalls is a poor choice as MANY cobalt owners bend the brackets in the kit. The Turbo Tech Racing Mount does not have any structural issues.

Again it is not the most recommended product. Many purchased the Ingalls, and then replaced it with the Turbo Tech Racing Upper engine mount. They stated they would never go back to an Ingalls.

The Cobalt stiffy will work on the HHR, as long as you get the "air box" out of the way.
