Based on what ive read, i think the tanabe gf210 may give the best end result in terms of aesthetics and practicality

Rear has larger drop than front 19mm compared to 15mm.
You will have no camber issues with these springs.

I like the Espelir Active GT springs . . . my tuner has them and loves 'em compared to his old Eibachs. It drops you 10mm all the way around and will not involve fender rolling or create a large negative camber.

Have not had them on too long, but my wheel alignment was in the allowable specs (although almost right at the limit).
I posted & am mainly on another 350z site but cannot mention here...
