Help needed...

I cut the rear bushings on my z51 c6 and now i need to raise the car back up. Does anyone know where i can buy the stock bolts? Its stupid for me to raise the car up a little with cut bushings when the car slammed on stock bushings is perfect. For those who are wondering why i am raising it back up, its because i recently bought 2 rear tires with almost a 28in diameter and i dont want them to rub.

Thanks

28" Diameter rear tires are going to give you problems with Active Handling and Traction Control unless you increase the front diameter an equal percentage. Your speedometer will also be indicating lower speeds than you are traveling.
