new to the forum , new to the breed

just getting into the HHR family. picking up a 2008 SS. next week. had the opportunity to drive one for a bit and decided that this was the way to go. zero mods and bone stock. what are the suggested "easy" mods? FYI currently a harley softail guy and understand the typical AC, exhaust, tuner stuff, imagine there are favorable combinations. oddly enough I've played with an early chevy chevette turbo, (1976 fiberglass hood, Garrett air turbo, 1.6 l very custom) and plenty of corvair's (1964 convertible @ greenbrier). can't wait for the next chapter of of bow tie fun.

Many people go with the GMTU for the SS. As well as upgrading the sway bar, links, bushings. Some have done dual exhaust. Others have upgraded their intakes. There's a LOT you can do to an SS HHR. Will you be getting a 5sp or Auto?

I ended up with my 08 SS because I have a 66 Corvair Corsa Turbo. Now both my cars are turbo charged...You'll love the SS

A rear swaybar is a good 1st mod to do.
