how low do you want to go?
what are your intentions for the car as far as performance?

these are ywo questions you deffinitely will need answers for before making any decision regarding springs

As far as I know thought there are no springs on the market that will make your 17's rub, the only one I have read about on this site as having problems with tires rubbing is running 20's. So it depends on where you want to go with the car...ie show, autox, drag

performance wise, just wanna cut some underflow out and reduce roll by a little bit. I woulda figured as much as the tenzo springs drop the car that there would be some issues with larger rims but if u say it doesnt then I believe ya. Anyone out there got pics with the tenzo's installed? hopefully with 17's as well?

yeah tenzo offers a nice drop. but tenzo as far as brand goes, is not the best quality. if you are going to quality parts for your car, go with eibach. they offer the 2" drop with the sporlines. expect to pay more, but youll know you have the best around.

Any LS's out there with 17's and the ProKit? I was wondering the same thing as DarkCobalt. Dont really want a 2-2 1/2 inch drop. Just close up the fender a little and stiffen it up a bit. I think the ProKit would be a good fit for me, but I'd like to find a pic...

Spyder, yours are the sportlines, right?

Tenzo's are not bad quality. I hate when people say that, unless you've used them and had issues with them or know personally of someone that has then stop talking about bad quality. I've been on Tenzo's since July and LOVE THEM. No issues at all, and a lot of the guys with the Eibach's are complaining about struts wearing out within 6 months. I've had NO strut problems AT ALL.

For an LS if you want to go as LOW as you can GO then get Tenzo's. The car looks SO much better with them.

Honestly go Progress, EIBACH is more or less overpriced. You can get better handling and fell from progress with same drop.
