Rear rubber snubber...??
Where can I buy new rubber snubbers(?) that limit the squat on an '81 Corvette? They mount on the frame above the rear trailing arms and keep it from bottoming out. Thanks.

I think you are referring to bump stops. They have them on the front and rear. I believe the rears mount to the frame with two bolts. Any of the large Corvette suppliers will have them, including, I am sure, Forum sponsors.

You can further limit the suspension travel, and save on broken parts if you drag race, if you extend the snubbers.
I actually added 300#/in coil springs to mine (similar to a valve spring) to further limit the travel and sort of serves as "traction bars." You can see one in the upper left hand corner of the picture.
