Default Right lowering spring for 2013 Nismo

This is one of my first posts even thought I have been a member for some time so I appreciate your patience. After much time spent researching I really just need a simple, clear answer and I'm am more confused that informed, so I have created THIS thread.

There are SO many options for the 2013 Nismo and I am trying to determine if Eibach Pro-Kit, Tein S-Tech, Swift Spec-R or H&R is the best choice for a spring to lower the car. I plan to use the Nismo performance dampers so we are only talking lowering the car.

As I understand it the Eibach Pro-Kit lowers the front -1.0" and the rear -0.5", the Tein S-Tech drops the front -0.9" and rear -0.7". Factory alignment can be obtained without any additional parts.

Swift Spec-R drops the front -1.2" and -1.0" rear and it looks like H&R will get you -1.5" front and -1.0 rear. Do I need camber kits or toe bolts for either of these?

What I would like to do is get the best-looking drop that sets the car even front and rear and add 15 mm H&R wheel spacers to the car to get a squared-off look. I have H&R on my 350Z with upper control arms, wheels with a different offset and different size tires than stock and I really like the look of that car BUT I get a knocking noise on the right front.

I want a recommendation that works GREAT and looks GREAT. I don't want to have any problems and I'd like to make minimal modifications to get factory alignment.

Lastly, if I go with a 265/35-19 (front) and 305/30-19 (rear), or equivalent setup when it is time to replace my tires so please factor that into the recommendation.

Thanks all!
