Those are the two I would recommend as well. I would get the 350Z S-Techs myself if I didn't have to drive 30+ miles a day. You should be happy with either set of springs in regards to comfort and performance.

If you want to do it cheap and still do it right then you need to shop around for the springs you want in the For sale section and wait for someone to give a good deal or haggle with them till you get a better deal.

I was going to lower mine and waited for a good price on some S-techs cause I didn't have the $$ to buy new and got them for a great deal and also got the rear Camber adjusters for a steal as well.

I ended up deciding that if I lowered my car I wouldn't be able to get down my driveway and that is a bad thing since my house is 3 acres off the road. So now I'm just gonna put a lip on the front, maybe if I get my driveway fixed i will lower later or just put 350Z springs on. They are always cheaper. Good set of Z springs are about $80-$100.

I sold mine for 50 bucks..thats the going rate since they are OEM.. subtle but noticeable.. but he scored some H&R springs so he should be good..

Personally I have the Tenabe NF210s and they lower .6" in the rear and 1" in the front, but you'd SWEAR the rear was lower than that.. Feel free to look at my albums in my sig for pics of my side profile..

No camber kit needed.. Got an alignment at NTB a week after installing my springs and never looked back.. Their alignment machine will tell you if you need a camber kit or not. Mine didn't. Ride feels better than stock too.. So you're not giving up anything.. I have 20" rims though, don't know if the size of the rims will alter your experience.
