Raise rear on C5
My 99 C5 was lowered when I bought it. Just put new tires and wheels on and I want to raise the rear about 1/4". It looks like the spring bolts are all the way tight with an 1" of threads showing.Would there be any issue with a 1/4" inch spacer between the nut and the bushing washer.

These links on lowering should help. Just turn the bolt clockwise to raise the rear.:

Rob are you worried they'll hit the fenders? Do you know if you have c6 rear bolts or just lowered on c5 stock bolts. I would imagine being lowered on c5 stock bolts shouldn't be a problem even with the new tires.

I think going back to stock bolts should do the trick...it won't raise it drastically, but just enough I would imagine. To bad though, your car looks really good the way it sits.
