Default Corvette shock bar pins>BPE

In the Corvette world, BPEs don't exist. The bar pins on Corvette shocks are thicker and are actually tubular instead of the flattened oval shape on the Jeep shocks.

Has anyone ever used the bar pins from a Corvette shock??

Doesn't fix the issue with a bar pin. That issue is that there is zero side compression on the bushing. So over time the hole opens up and you get the cluck everyone talks about. The JKS BPE have to be installed on a shock with a vice - hence the focus on side compression. Get those. If you can't afford them... save up or ask for Christmas

Yes, did it on mine. May have to open the hole a tinge for the shock bolt...
