Default 2002 front end adjusters

I just learned that the pevious owner of my 2002 removed the front ajusted bolts and bushings to get it really low.. It's too low.. It hits everything that 3" above the ground... I am looking at getting just the front end adjutser screws and bushings. Any ideas would be great...

The HARDBAR USA product is an option. As is the C6/Z06 front adjustment bolts available from many after market vendors (less expensive).

However, before you spend any money on new adjustment bolts, confirm that the threaded inserts within the front spring are still in good shape (not loose, good threads). Some owners decide to lower their cars only to find the adjustment bolt/inserts are frozen with corrosion. Then they cut the bolts off leaving the corroded section inside the spring.

Once you determine that the threaded inserts are in good shape give me a shout. I got a pair you can have. Just cover the shipping
