I vote for stock. Plenty of suspension travel is your friend. If you prefer to lower, a modest 1 inch or so with some tasteful, non-garish wheels does look nice on these cars.

Not sure if you did any research on here yet, but if you haven't, please review my write up on this topic. Tons of details in here on the Tanabe Springs, which is about the cheapest route for coil spring drop which still rides really nice

Stock ride height is boring...sway too much. I prefer a drop, it's actually feel better then OEM suspension.

Lower it!!!
Stock

Here is F-sport around 2" lower...

Here it is slammed around 3" or so


The F-sport has factory air...I recommend RS-R Coilovers for your LS..
