I don't have my '09 SS yet, but it will have the Limited Slip Differential. Reading that this sway bar works pretty well on the SS, how does it effect the LSD. I'm an aircraft mechanic, not a car mechanic. Never paid much attention to performing mods on any of my vehicles. Since mostly everything is computerized, I really don't work under the hood much. Just reading things in the HHR forums has given me an itch. I am known to take a fast corner now and then, the front wheel drive was made for it. But, the HHR has a higher CG than a normal sedan. The sway bar looks to be a good move to install. Just want to know how it interacts with the LSD.

The addition of a sway bar in the rear will not affect the functionality of the LSD. The LSD will provide better off the corner speed and even torque placement across the front axle. It's good to get the LSD, but the TTR rear sway bar is an excellent addition either way.

Just ordered my TTR sway bar.
The mods are adding up and I don't even have my HHR yet. 
But, the Smurfinator will be hugging them corners tight and fast.
Now if I can find me a loaded mini-gun to start smurfinating.

Thanks TTR.
The last delay the dealer told me about was it would be built the week of 1 Sept. I'm one of those poor guys waiting on the performance display. Original build was supposed to be last week. I see the sway bar has been shipped and expect delivery on the 26th, thanks. Yep, SS, ABM, AA5,5-sp w/LSD & brembo disks up front. Gonna be sweet.
Well, surprise-surprise, Fed Ex made a Saturday home delivery and got my sway bar on the 23rd.
