leaning towards the Hardbar, because it comes with a delrin bushing. Only thing im not aware of is will it lower my c6 like the rest of the bolts.
any thoughts?

I would recommend not getting the WCC bolts. I ordered them and installed and they lowered beautiful. However I heard on the forum afterwards that the rubber bushing or pad disenegrates. Sure enough after 2 weeks I started getting a metal pop kind of like a loose shock mount. Upon inspection the passenger side bolt had fallen apart exposing metal against metal. I'm still trying to find a good replacement.
