Default ride height adjusters interchangeability ?

Hi,

I wanted to know if the ride height adjusters are the same for all C6's (and C5's ???) and if they are interchangeable between models and years and between front and rear.

I'd like to change mine, but I don't want to lower the car. So I don't want lowering bolts. I know that stock repros are sold at corvettecentral but availability is problematic and apparently they are not very durable.

Since they are not sold separately from the leaf spring, the solution might be to buy the cheapest leaf spring and just install the new ride height adjusters on my car.

Any thoughts?

Front C5 adjusters would work for front or rear on a C6. Technically, the OE C6 bolts are slightly different between front and rear...forget which is which, but one has a slightly larger diameter head/rubber pad. The OE C7 bolts should work on a C6 just fine as well. The repro's really are the best alternative out there...if you can get them of course.

Just last week I put a almost new set from a 2017 grand sport on my 2007 c6 and they
were the same. The repros will disintegrate pretty fast.

Thanks.

The best deal looks to find "new" bolts from a barely driven C7 the owner has swapped for lowering bolts.

Check out Van Steel. They have adjustment bolts that have a half round Delrin pad.
