not even close. The NF210s are about the same as the ProKits, regardless of eithers' advertised drop; the Sportlines outright slam the car. For comparision, this is mine on Sportlines:
More pictures are in my Gallery.
I love the look, but for whoever above that said the ride quality "remained the same" is full of chit
The ride is harsh, regardless of the dampers you run--ESPECIALLY the first 500 or so miles during break-in. After that, I would compare the ride to your standard coil-over (two friends are on stance and jic).

I have the Sportkit and they slam the car. You will scrape if you have any large speed bumps or steep driveways. I have become a pro at angling.
I have always used Eibach springs so I would recommend them over most brands but call me bias.
Whatever you do make sure you get yourself some aftermarket shocks with the springs or will end up paying 2x for labor in the long run. I have the Tockico D Specs and love them with these springs.
Best of luck.

I used the prokit on my 05 and now on my 07 and I love the drop and ride. There is a tone of pics in my album

So with either one of these kits I'm gonna need a rear camber kit? Or at least its highly recommended? I'd rather get a camber kit for $150 instead of replacing rear tires every 10,000 miles. Which camber kit would you guys recommend? I'll be installing this on my '04 350z with the 19" Volk GT-V's I'll be getting next week (9.5 and 10.5). And I'm just assuming put them on the stock shocks since I'm not gonna be tracking it or anything.

seems that you guys are just going for the drop...
i had the GF 210's on for a week with BRAND NEW tokico blues.
the ride was too soft and felt horrible. The specs prove my point....they are in my garage and will be going into the trash on wednesday....
dont see how these or the prokit are anygood, unless you buy the d-spec and max out the valving....but shouldnt a good spring not require this???

So far the only springs I can see that you'd be able to keep stock shocks and not need a camber kit for are the Pro-Kits. Any others? GF210's? S-Tech's? I know with a more aggressive spring like the Sportlines you'd definitely need both.

^ It is recommended to change the stock shocks/struts with any lowering spring. But, you may last longer with the cobb's or the tien s techs. The pro kit from what ive seen, lowers the car just as low as the tanabes. About a finger gap front and rear.
