Seriously considering buying Sway Bar, need thoughts

So I have read allot about how adding a rear sway bar can improve how tight the rear end feels. But I want to hear your guys thoughts on how good of an improvement it is before I buy. I am looking into the rear sway bar available from turbo tech.
Thoughts??

I'm only looking to make the car a little more fun, at the moment I do not have the cash for better springs/shocks

Can't say that, but the HHR I put it on is an SS, the ttr bar didn't go with my car......the Hardcore bar on the other hand works like a miracle on it.

SS fan is a firm believer in the Hardcore bar and I would trust his opinion.

Me. Never tried the Hardcore but I've had the TTR bar for about 3 years. It does what I wanted. Tightened up the rear and reduced the body roll in the corners. Just what I was looking for in my daily driver type car.

If you still have stock rear coil springs in yours, may wanna consider swapping to rear springs to 'level' out the ride, that is a big improvement with a lower CG.

Bout 4 years ago I added cobalt ss/tc rear springs, Big diff.. month later I added a ttr rear bar, just right for me.

I have a TTR rear sway bar. Best bang for your buck you can get. You'll notice a big difference from your first drive. Really improves your handling, and only takes about 20 mintues to install.

I've only tried the TTR, I think it's pretty effective. Seems like a lot of folks really prefer the Hardcore. Only thing about the TTR is mine pretty much instantly rusted so if you go for one I wouldn't spend extra on a different color.

and my 2 cents, I too have a TTR rear sway bar. yes the best bang for your buck you can get, I agree. And YES you'll notice a big difference from your first drive. The TTR sway bar really does improves your handling, and only takes about 20 to 25 minutes to install. it was really easy backed up on ramps!!
