GM used to make and market very hard rubber spacers that fit under the front coil springs. If I remember correctly, they came in several different thicknesses, but have been discontinued. The part numbers are listed in the old Chevy High Performance Catalogs. I have two old catalogs at home from different years, and can check numbers tonight.

There is a set currently listed on ebay:

Item 250013202756

I was thinking about bidding, as these things are a great way to fine tune ride height. I believe the overall height will be raised 2 times the thickness of the spacer.

Transdapt or Mr. gasket cheap$$$$$ they are rubber though, like muscle-car-nos-dude is showing on evil bay.

I don't think I'd want metal ones they would wear/break/squeek.

If you want metal ones, I think Mr. gasket or somebody also have those.

I think I'll take a ride up to a couple of parts stores and see what they have in stock.
