FYI, all numbers here are degree minutes:
Your front camber is close to "minimum" at -1.12, that means it leans in. Closer to nominal spec (-.4) would make you straighter up and down. More negative camber helps to "flatten out" out the tire during cornering creating more grip. There will be a lot of difference of opinion on this but a lot of people will run -2 camber up front because the Z tends to push at the front. More negative camber, more grip in the corner (to a point).
Your rear camber is pretty close to nominal at -1.4. This is pretty acceptable. Again lots of opinions on this but something closer to -1.11 would be better out back. My reasoning is as follows: More rear camber means less grip in a straight line. Our cars have a lot of negative camber gain as the suspension compresses so less initial camber is needed. So less negative camber out back means more grip during acceleration but still enough during cornering.
Take this all with a grain of salt. There is a lot to know about suspension setup and LOTS of opinions. And remember, there is no perfect. Street/Track, surface type, race type all affect optimal settings.
