Search, my friend.
H&R Race springs (Part #: 51859-88) will drop you about 2.2 in the front and 1.75 in the back and S-Tech's will drop you about 1.5 inches.

The S-Tech's are a nice clean drop, but I'm getting coilovers if that says anything. Just not low enough for me! But here is a good pic of the drop:

It comes down to ride preference. H&R's ride a bit firmer, while TEIN's are softer.

Of course, this is based on my personal opinion. I prefer TEIN because the ride is a bit softer.

they guy is asking about S-Tech not H-tech that you're riding on. you're misinforming the public my friend.

I ride on H&R Sport. Not H&R OE or RACE. And the ride is great, firm but not stiff. I actually find it much better than stock in terms of comfort.

I drove my bother's Maxima on same Tokico Illumina shocks as mine and same settings (2/3) but with the S-tech springs and it sucks ass. Stiff, uncomfortable, feel every bump and it sounds like wheels are going to start flying off. It does sit lower and looks a bit more agressive but it's absolutely not worth it in my opinion.
