My SS has a rear sway bar from the factory. It's tucked up nicely under the rear wheel crossmember.

But do the ends come out and extend down the trailing arms toward the rear wheels?

I got to utilize the FE3 Sports Tuned Suspension yesterday in our trip to Bodega Bay.

Having only driven a little over 200 miles prior to the trip, it was a little hairy on the winding turns (including one hairpin) until I had the feel and response down. While not a sports car, the HHR handles very well, felt very in control driving into the curves. Never did I get any feeling of being top heavy, very happy about that!

The SS has yet another Spring & front strut combo.

I have also heard that the only difference between Standard & Sports Tuned is the front Strutts? I would have thought there was more to it than that.
So what about the rear shocks on all models?

After reading it all
Like I said springs & shocks New name for front shocks "Strut"
