Who makes the best C6 rear lowering bolts that last longer than 2000 miles?

The front are OEM bolts all the way down . I'm just trying to level the car with rear lowering bolts.

Am I just looking for the impossible

In terms of durability, the ones made of delrin are the best - probably never wear out. I can't speak from personal experience, but I have seen some members complain that some of the less costly "poly" versions wear out rather quickly. As Speedraider has pointed out.

The delrin style do not have this problem. I have them on my car and the one problem I have found is that they squeak really loudly when they get wet as in driving in the rain.

PM me and I can provide more details....

Different lowering bolts

OEM on the left - an aftermarket Delrin on the right, and one I had made in the centre (the bolt on the right-hand version fits into it).
