Default Nismo struts + lowering springs on a base SP Z. (pre 13's)

Been looking for some postings about this and what to compare it to. There are similar threads but johnnydrama's big F'n youtube link on every post he makes irritates me and didn't want to look at it again.

So I was planning on doing Tanabe Z40 coilovers but just couldn't justify paying for coilovers in general. I don't track or auto-x nearly enough to justify it. Then I was thinking about Koni yellows and for that price with some lowering springs, I might as well get BC's. So instead, I compromised with Nismo struts and lowering springs. I'm still debating between Swifts and Tanabe GF210's.

Anyways. I haven't ridden in a Nismo to really know how much firmer they are with the Nismo springs or lowering springs. I live in Vegas so roads are generally glass smooth. Sway bars will be upgraded as well. So taking all this into account, what should I expect? I don't want a drastic change, just tightened up... you know, less pitch, dive, roll, better turn in, slightly stiffer, and close the fender gap to about 1/2-1"
