Check with Gene or Patrick at GMPARTSHOUSE to confirm. They'd know and they answer the phone. I was under the impression the C6/Z06 adjustment bolts were available separately through GM.
If I'm incorrect, check with MID AMERICA. They have a set (#624-104 for $45) of four C6/Z06 adjustment bolts for '05-11 cars. Sell two or keep them for spares...

I had one stuck too. Soaked with PB blaster but was still rounding off the hex. I used the pipe wrench on the round pad trick and it worked for me. Guess I got lucky. This was on a used spring I bought.
Good note about road salt. In a somewhat recent thread, some were of the opinion that winter driving was no big deal. I personally wouldn't even consider it.

I have a GMC Canyon 4x4 I drive in the winter, and even though I bought it as a winter driver, it kills me to drive it in the salt.

I looked in C6 tech and they state the C6 bolt is also not available from GM. Is this true?
Also read that the pads on all of the aftermarket bolts are very poor and fail quickly with the exception of the Hardbar parts which have a delrin pad that causes noise.
Makes a good case for the stock parts.
I'm amazed that GM does not offer these separately. Someone has to make them for GM......

If you think about a bolt above your head, they are right hand thread. They go in from the bottom.
I want to thank Matt (MadMatt9471)for helping a fellow forum member out and selling me good used replacements for mine!
THANKS MATT!
Gene at GM partshouse let me know that C6 parts are not available either.
