1st-Stage kit. 2nd-TTR upper engine mount. 3rd-TTR rear sway bar. The stage kit made it fast, the upper engine mount made it safe(torque steer), and the sway bar made it really handle easy and well. The TTR parts surprised me with the high quality and finish, plus they actually worked. Wish I hadn't waited so long for the mount and bar.

I second LT1GMC's post. I have the same mods and in the same order. Be aware the motor mount will give you much better torque steer performance but you will be able to feel and hear the engine through the body steering wheel. Not annoying but different than stock. I would recommend to anyone who desires better performance and handling. My wife went from a 2006 HHR LT to my 2008 HHR SS and has not complained except for the additional road noise due to the HHR SS has less noise dampening from the factory.

I am new to this forum, just purchased a 2009 HHR SS, and sent my order in today for a TTR rear sway bar. I appreciate the information posted on this forum as I learn how to improve this fun to drive "Hillbilly Hot Rod".
