Lowering Questions! (I feel like such a noob)

Tokico D-specs should run you about 500 for the set front and rears....I'm running on stock struts which is fine but you'll have to change them out sooner as they're not made to take the added stress of the lowered vehicle weight. As i'm 49k right now I've been told I should change them about 60k.

I have S-techs and the D-specs. S-tech drop is .9" and 1.1" for front and rear.
CVR motorsports sells D-specs for 479 shipped. I got it from them from the vendor marketplace.
I personally went with the S-tech drop because I saw pics of the H-tech drop and it didn't really look like anything to me. I'm very satisfied with my drop
After settling, I took my car for an alignment. Front were not within spec, they were about -2 degrees.
Rear, they got the back left in spec but not the back right.
I bought an Ichiba front camber kit ($315) but haven't installed it yet.
Pics of the drop...

Hope that helps with your decision

To put in my 2 cents, the need for a camber kit with 350z H-tech's vary by car. But if you are unlucky like me you will need front and rear camber kits with a 350z H-Tech drop.
After I put on my springs everything was cambered to hell and I started noticing premature tire wear on the inside after just under 4k miles. I got the SPC revised fronts and regular rears recently, we'll see how my tires do.
So if I were to do any drop, especially if the car is driven a fair amount, I would budget out enough funds for the possibility that you may have to buy both front and rear kits and install and alignment (that's about $850 right there) in case.
