SS Performance Parts?
In an attempt to tap the wealth of knowledge that is out there, I would like to start a thread for listing performance parts as they become available for the SS. I think folks will be looking for: Brembo front calipers and slotted rotors, (or maybe Baer or?), slotted rear rotors, engine torque braces, drivetrain mounts, tower crossbraces, intercooler upgrades, stainless catback exhaust systems, cosmetic engine accessories, extrudehoned exhaust manifold, and?

Anything wheel or brake wise would be available under the Cobalt SS (s/c) parts.
For suspension...why?! If you're looking at shocks and everything...then you might as well buy a base HHR and build it up from there because the suspension is so meticulous on the HHR SS...I wouldn't even touch it! Now if you're look for a strut bar or something...I would understand.
The main waiting game would be push the guys over at HP Tuners to gain access to the PCM for tuning. When I upgraded my ION RL to 42lb injectors and a smaller supercharger pulley, I gained 40whp (from after the injectors and pulley were installed with a little box to trick the computer to removing the box and tuning) in the mid-powerband by just being able to tune it perfectly and making the A/F ratio linear.

I need some help.
I bought my 2010 HHR-SS new,ran good.Had dealer install
Gm part #19212670 power upg,car power was 300HP/25LBS.
boost.I was very happy.
Lasted 7 months,than power fell off,and runs rich enought to
turn bumper black.
When back to dealer,they put in new ECM,and reprogramed.
No change in power.They are trying to find out what is wrong,but know one knows.
Does anyone have an answer?
Thank-You
