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.

why does the CM/SSC springs seem really low, even though it's advertised as 1/1.5 (F/R) but it seems to drp more than sportline.

Remember kids, wheel gap is like women; you should be able to fit two fingers, not your entire fricking fist!
