Default stock lowering bolts

is anybody willing to part with the rear stock lowering bolts?
i bought a 2000 c5 vette that is too low and would like to put it back to the stock ride height.

have you tried to tighten the nut until you run out of threads on the bolts?you should be able to get it close to stock height even with aftermarket bolts.you can also go down to a hardware store and get some grade 8 nuts,bolts and washers.they are either 1/2" or 9/16 thread and 6" long.

it looks like the nut is at the bottom of the threads already.
the back is not that low but to raise the front,the rear needs to be 1" higher than the front.i think i am going to try and raise the front like it is.i guess anything would be better than what i have now.
thanks again

Just get some spacers or washers and put them on the bolts so that you effectively shorten the distance of the bolt shank. Problem solved.
