what to do.

spring season is coming, so i'm tryin to decide what to do now, some of you may know from experience what will work best. i got 14 inch stock steely rims on my ls right now, thinkin of gettin 17's or 18's, not sure yet, and i'm wondering when i slap 17's or 18's on there if its gonna put the car right up in the air, so then i was thinkin i should also lower it, because i definetly dont want it to be sky high. any suggestions ? thanks in advance.

Your car will deff. look jacked up if you put 17's or 18's, Kinda like a monster truck. A nice drop maybe on some sportlines would be perfect

Sportlines are about 2" for the front and 2.25-2.5 for the rear.

Yes the sportlines give the LS a very nice lookin stance with some 18's. Its not to low where to scrap everything either
