I will comment about your question, but keep in mind my answer could be better if I knew the following.
Budget?
What you plan on doing with the car?
What you want out of your new suspension?
Do you want,.....comfort, comfort-performance, or performance-some comfort?
What drop range as in min and max do you need to be happy?
Brand names you like, brand names you do not like?
If you keep the Kw's at or below the half way point on damper settings, they are the hands down better product vs the Greddy. Your far better off getting a quality product that has good valving vs one that has poor valving that makes you think it's salvation is it's ability to have in car adjustability. The Kw's would be $300 well spent.
If your more performance driven, I would go to Cusco Zero 2 vs the above choices in the same price range as the Kw2.

the 1500 is my budget. the other prices are just for the coilovers, no cambers or toes. these are both new kits. btw will i need both rear and front camber kits for a drop?
You don't need a camber kit for the front, the rear you will definitely for almost any drop. If you're not tracking the car you should get the Greddy's.

Greddy suspension = something someone else made for them to their specs with little to no on car R&D, On the 350Z they have known issues on roads that are not perfectly smooth with bouce or a "pogo stick" ride quality.
Kw's are german engineered and will have a superior ride and drive quality. To back that up, I have run a set on the shock dyno personally.
Between the two, the Kw product is superior.
Tein CS (Monotube constructionad, adjustable dampners )
Special Note: A comfort ride system compare to HKS LS.They are valved and sprung to fulfill their intended mission of offering up improved ride comfort. More specifically their valving will impact the performance they can deliver. And to add, revalving them is extremely expensive if you find they are too soft for you. If you want performance, pick a different Tein offering or pick a different brand.
Spring rates 392/392
Going to Greddy will be going from one issue to another issue. Please make a better choice. It get's old seeing people installing garbage I wouldn't even open the box to look at let along install even it it was shipped to me free of charge. And you of all people have invested far too much time and money in your car.
