Interesting comment about bottoming out. I think that happen's a lot more often then get's reported, especially with drops greater then Tein's. GF210's are much softer then the Teins and with a greater drop, at a higher risk for frequent bumpstop contact.

Tanabe GF210 Series 350Z progressive springs 1”/1.2”
Spring rates in LBS 336/375 (only peak rates are published, softer initial progressive rates unknown)

Tein S-tech 350Z springs .7“.6“ (fronts slightly progressive, rears are linear)
Spring rates in LBS 386/402

Eibach 350Z progressive springs 1”/1” (must compress initial rate to get to final rate)
Spring rates in LBS initial/final front 296/384 initial/final rear 316/421

Kinda hard to send you down one path or another knowing that your not going to be on them forever or without knowing what you hope you'll end up with, even though they'll be temporary. If you have to have a 1" drop, I'd go with Pro-kits vs GF210's because I do not believe in removing 1" of suspension travel without a decent increase in spring stiffness. From a performance perspective S-tech's look better then the other two to me.
