Default Light hone fit what rings?

If i were to have a light hone on my LS1 block, do i fit standard rings? is there an upgrade available or that you guys would recommend? I am just weighing up which way to go with my oil usage problem. Thanks.

I used Akerly & Childs Xtreme File Fit rings. You can get them from Scoggin-Dickey parts center. Whatever brand you use, make sure they are the right width. There tends to be a difference between the OEM pistons and aftermarket ones. Also make sure your hone finish is compatible with what the rings are designed for.
