CM's, looking stock? if CM's look stock I think you are looking for a low only coils can bring.

u gotta realize lowering springs =/= performance
and majority of all lowering springs are progressive rate so a good 65% of the spring will be full compressed giving you the other 35% to travel.
since there's only 35% to travel the rate of the spring are going to be MUCH MORE stiffer than regular rate giving you a harsh ride.

seeing you have an LS, i think sportlines drop around 2/2.5
ssc should be about the same if not a dinky little more.

the ride on sportlines were pretty bad for my ss/sc. I felt every quarter inch of un-eveness on the road. but hey they are LOWERING springs after all.
don't expect any lowering spring to ride close to stock.

^ SSC (CM) is the best Spring imo. But I wouldn't spend the money if you already have sportlines.

all springs work for all model SS's. Look at the pics on the first page and find which height you like.
