Default C 5 corvette front suspension (need Help)

Hey everyone, I am in the process of raising my vette back up to stock height and have looked high and low online for the front bushings for the leaf spring bolts and can not find them for sale anywhere. Does anybody know where I can get a set? I am raising the car back up because it is just to frustrating to have to plan out my next move around the height of my car lol. it may look awesome but it is not worth the trouble to me. i can only get two fingers between the ground and my front air dam. lol Thanks!

Are you looking for the adjusters aka the actual bolts or just the bushings for them?

I have the bolts and bushings so if that's what you're looking I'll have to look but I'm pretty sure I have a set (I switched to C6 bolts). Cheapest set I found online was a ridiculous $80, and they were used.

If I have them, pay shipping and they're yours.

I am pretty sure the bolts are there I just need the bushings. I think they have been cut or removed altogether. I have not been able to get a jack under the car to look for sure. If you do have them that would be awesome if you could send them to me. I guess if you find them send me a pm and I will send you the money for shipping and my address. I am pulling my car over a pit this weekend and will know for sure what I need. Thanks!
