Pat-

Perhaps you might want to start with a rear sway bar or level your HHR with lower rear springs (first)....

I used 2009 Cobalt SS/TC rear coil Springs to level my 08 2LT Panel. Which made a Big improvement in handling by lowering the center of gravity & looks much better as well..

Then I added a TTR rear sway bar. Which keeps my ride nice a flatly planted in bends..

Just a thought...

Buy the bar from Aaron @ TTR . It's the Eibach and get the rear bar from him as well. Great 1-2 punch.And yes, it fits all HHR's.

Personally, I prefer doing one mod at a time & then serious road testing that mod. (not just around the block).. Put some miles on & evaluate your mod, from before you did that one....

In this way you can better identify improvement, or lack of for what you just added... Either way, you will know exactly what mod did what..

But that's just how I do things.. And in the long run, you may find yourself saving a few bucks...
