47 bucks shipped for two from gmpartsdirect.com
Description: REBOUND BUMPER
Part #: 10164173
Categories:
Collision > STEERING/SUSPENSION > REAR SUSP
The material does fall apart after a while, but these bump stops allow you to hit them without feeling it and without upsetting the suspension as much as with harder or rubber type stops.

Whats up
If there is a stiffer bumpstop, it would definitely both ride worse and handle worse. Because if you ever hit the bumpstop, you'd suddenly have no suspension travel left and nothing to cushion it making it pretty uncomfortable. The stock ones have a slight progression into being totally on the bumpstops and a little more cushion. Your tail end would be a lot more controllable with stock bumpstops.
