Also does anyone make a strut tower brace, does it make a difference in HHR's?
Because the HHR already has a stock front swaybar. Folks are adding a rear one because Chevy didn't.
Some folks have upgraded the front bar, but in stock form it works nicely for everyday driving.
Strut tower brace. Not really needed in the front wheel drive platform of the HHR. Not a lot of flexing going on between the strut towers. Other makes of cars may benefit from one, just not much need for it in the HHR.

The single biggest improvement done to my HHR in the 4 years of ownership is...

Paying off the loan. Today it's my car with title in hand

AGREED! 3 1/2 YRS LEFT.. not trying to be a thread jacker but i noticed the post about the solid upper engine mounts... has anyone put one on the 2.2l? and is it worth it? is there a noticeable difference in accelertion, like the initial jump?
