Front Suspension
My Corvette was lowered by a previous owner. I am having it raised back to its original height. I understand that to lower it the rubber bushing are removed from the spring. Does anyone know the thickness of these so that I can have something fabricated?
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When lowering, those pieces are literally cut and dremeled and shaved and ground off of the spring. You couldn't really glue em back on.
Best bet is to put the aluminum spacers back in, or make ones that are an inch thick or so. These go against the frame above the spring pivots.
Are you sure your front spring isn't just delaminating? Pretty common.
