Default Finding Front Spring Bolts-Bushings

How can a stock front bushings be acquired if they happen to have been cut in the lowering process?

I've made an inquiry to Fichtner and they say the front bolt bushing ride adjuster is not sold separately from the spring. I know that Hardbar is coming out with a new front spring Delrin lowering bolt in about a month that may add some cushin between the bolt and the spring seat.

Does anyone have any experience in restoring front suspension bushings without the cutting?

TIA,

I am not sure what this question means.
Do you have the original bolts but not the bushings?

Sorry I wasn't more clear, Dave. Just looking for stock suspension bolts. the bushing is part of the bolt. Mine were cut to lower and I want the full uncut bushing back. GM doesn't offer a front suspension bolt as a part that can be ordered. Got that from Fichtner. They only come with the Springs. What I'm finding out is, you need to buy a front spring to get the bolts and bushing :nonod: The cut-to-the chase question is how do you reverse a cut bushing from the front spring? Thanks,
