Progress Technology Sway-Bar
Got my 22mm Progress Technology rear Sway-Bar installed. This was one of the quickest mods I've done so far. Test ride reveals more control through the apex. It is more precise & has less body roll overall. It's no race car now but it feels good! Quick notes: The parts were loose in the box & ultimately I came up one washer short. The bar was scratched as it was sliding around in the box. I would've plastic wrapped the bar & secured the bag of parts better. Installation was EASY

Great Choice! Same design that TTR copied but made there's 3mm thicker which they say does make a difference 
! TTR also offers color choices in which I could have used as I had my Progress Tech powder coated Black before installing

I'm enjoying driving ('cruising') a lot more now with the HHR. It's like the old days. Driving is fun again.

the sway bar edition is the best. I have the TTR in yellow, and yeah don't worry about color, mine is speckled orange/brown now...
Can take corners like no other now. I usually watch my instamatic mpg, and as you know around corners, you slow down, turn, speed up, mpg takes a hit, I have seen sometimes getting a constant 20mpg into and out of a 90 degree corner now. However I know which ones around town now are banked right and what speed i can take them at.
