yeah i'm on the fence too. IDK which either.
I believe the tanabe drops it more, but has softer spring rates than the 350 z s tech.
But i believe that tanabe has the lowest drop over all.

i hear the s techs r better
they r stiffer and the drop isnt all that bad but the tanabe's are giving me a hard time deciding which one.

I just bought the GF210s, I'm glad I did. I was scared the S-techs wouldn't go low enough. They are for a 350z, and they ride great, not too stiff, just right.

Teins ride better, Tanabe's drop is more & cleaner.

^ +1 on DF's. I used to have pro-kits and the drop on the df's is down right sexy. ride quality is OK but in no way intolerable.

out of the 2, DF's drop is better

definitely! i would recommend front and rear... if you're on a tight budget, at least get the rears since those tires are usually more expensive however both will save you money in the long run on tires.

the s-techs have superior springrates, especially for coupes with the OEM 19" wheel option and the stiffer oem springs

Tanabe springs are terrible! The spring rates suck and the quality is really bad! I had GF's on my coupe- they looked great and rode okay at first, however, they lasted less that 8,000 miles- sag sag sag!!!! Horrible product.

So is it a MUST to get the camber kit when you drop even if you're going to be rolling on OEM wheels/tires?

Also, when you drop, what are the chances of the tire rubbing on the top inner fender area, per say inner roof top of fender (not side of fender well, I know rolling or shaving will fix that issue)? Ha-ha... hope that made sense!

I've had both springs on my G and I definitely prefer the Tanabes. The teins don't drop the car enough and don't sit even all the way around. Here is a pic of my car with the Tanabe DF210's:
