Title really says's it all which ones would you guys do and why?

My friend has a 2000 GS300 with 245/35/19 with the prokit and it fills the well pretty good with out giving it a slammed look and ride quality is nice too.

Tanabe's are 1.2 front .08 rear.

Prokit is 1.0 front and 1.0 rear.

x2 on NF210. It rides smoother than my l-tuned spring, and handles better (essentially eibach pro).

What about an camber kit for the Tanabe's? I know my friend with his prokit had an alignment done & he was still in spec and has no tire wear issues

The NF210 shouldn't give you too much trouble. My buddy was able to get it close, if not within oem spec. Actually, forget OEM spec because that only works with OEM suspension. Your toe will kill your tires a lot quicker than camber could alone. You're not doing a major 2" or more drop so dont worry.

I've spent the last 2 hours looking at every picture on this forum of both suspension's and I'm no better off than when I started. Some of the pics of the tanabe looks like the front is alot lower than the rear, then other looks about the same gap front and rear. The prokit has alot less pics on the ofrum but the drop looks more evened out, what to do........... I'd like to get the most agressive drop with out having to worry about getting a camber kit, having good ride quality with the front and rear looking even.

Of the 2 choices I'd go with the NF's personally.

In some pictures, the front does look lower than the rear. Also note that some guys on here have systems in their trunk so it looks like it'll even out. The Eibach/l-tuned springs lowers the car evenly all around. The problem is, OEM is uneven from the start. The front has a bit more gap than the rear. If you lower the same all around, you'll end up with the same front larger gap. It's less apart when you're stock, but when you're lowered, you'll see it. I drove around for the longest time like that and it really annoyed me. If you have a subwoofer setup in the trunk, then you'll even out fine.

NFs...............
coilovers if you can

I don't have a sub box in the trunk just the full size spare and tire that weighs a little over 50 lbs, LOL

What about the DF210's they are a larger drop having 2.0 in the front and 1.5 and the rear I would asume that your camber would be all out of wack without a camber kit for these?

no matter what ur camber is out..but with the df's its going to be out more. i rather get the dfs if u going to lower..best drop out.

Camber shouldn't be a problem as long as your toe is good. You normally dont get a lot of inner tire wear until you start hitting -3.0 degrees of camber. -0.5 degrees of camber with your toe off by 1 degree is worse than having -3.0 camber with -0.1 for toe. I say get the DFs if you want to sit lower. It wont be too bad as long as you have a good alignment.

I've been doing so much research on the DF's and NF's the last week or so.....

Looks like there is only 1 camber kit for the 2nd gen GS series and it is way to much money.

I've seached on here on mulitple threads of people eating tires with the DF's. I'd like the drop but don't want to chew through tires every 5000 miles.

I do have a really good alignment shop in this area that do great work.
