raising C5 - missing front bolts?
I know I'm in a minority here, but I want to raise my lowered C5. I bought this car used and it seems to have the front leaf spring adjuster bolts missing. Has anyone else run into this? Does anyone know the part number for these bolts?

Sorry bud, but yes, someone who felt the adjusting bolts didn't allow the car to be lowered enough ditched them. And no, GM doesn't sell the part individually!
There is an aftermarket company making replacement pieces, with Derlin ends vs. the stock rubber; only problem with that is the Derlin tends to wear down, so your height adjustment may vary over time.

Thanks Dan. The guy I bought it from said he paid someone to lower it for him on stock bolts. Unfortunatley, I didn't look for the bolts when I bought the car, but it was clean and I would have bought it anyway.
