From what I remember, S-Tunes are hard to find and when you do find em, people want premium for them.
A happy medium between a 1" to 1.8" drop would be Tein S-Techs at 1.5" in the front and 1.2" in the rear. With Tein S-Techs, I could never get my alignment to match stock specs until I got aftermarket arms. I had them on with GR-2's, AGX's, and eventually with Koni Yellows. On each one, I wish I had more shock travel up front.
For the GR-2's, I had them for 2-ish years--slammed on the bumpstops for bad bumps and harsh roads before they blew (results may vary).
Can't speak too much about the AGX's as I tried to DD them but I kept hitting bumpstops like the GR-2's so I sold them.
For the Koni's, I still have them and they're nice--not the best value but they are decent; but like I said I just wish I had more shock travel.
I remedied my lack of front shock travel by building my fronts with Bilstein shock inserts + coilover sleeves but that's a different story for another time. I eventually plan to convert my Koni Yellows to coilover sleeves as well.
As for maximum drop before having to get aftermarket arms, I would imagine an inch would be the maximum. It only makes sense if Nissan matched S-Tunes along with stock arms.
Double and single tap coilovers on the S-Chassis makes sense, imo, because these cars suck aesthetically at stock height and while driving at stock height. Lowering springs take up much needed suspension travel. So by having a double tap coilover system like Fortune, your ride will benefit from having suspension travel (even if the stroke is shorter) and you'll look better doing it even if you aren't tracking it.
