Default Which lowering bolts?

I did a search and didnt find an answer to my question. I already cut my bushings on the stock bolts and it doesnt sit low enough for me. I would like to get lowering bolts but dont know which ones are good. Ive read that some break after a few days. Which ones break and which ones dont? thanks in advance

I ran Eibach lowering bolts on my last 08 Vette for about a year and a half with no issues.

you can have this set for $20 shipped. they are out of 2 sets. the neoprene gets worn away after a couple of years. hardbar has delrin but they are thicker, probably like you have now.

Do you know of this happening to anyone with a C6 because of lowering?
