Recommended alignment settings (camber)
 
Before I get flamed, I did use the search function and couldn't seem to find anything. Just put some springs and bigger wheels on my Z and planning on taking it in to get an alignment done on it. Forgive my ignorance, but what are the optimum camber settings for performance (i.e. I've heard that some camber assist with better turn in, etc.)? Also, will I need any of the camber arms or any other extra hardware to make the needed adjustments? Thanks in advance!

I have mine set at -.9 camber on the front and -1.9 camber on the rear

Caster on the front 5.8 on the right 5.5 on the left
Toe I don't remember on the rear is close to zero on the front a little toed in.

I also have SPC front and rear arms w/toe bolts.

Op, it's best to start your research with what camber, caster, and toe are, then the effects they have. Once you have the basic graphical understanding, then it'll be much much easier to conduct the research and find the answers you seek.

There is no one size fits all alignment. What the optimum alignment is depends on your driving style. IMHO Stock alignment will be just fine unless your driving consist of consistent corner carving at the limit.

I think Baer's numbers are just very slightly more aggressive than stock, probably still within the tolerance of oem alignment range. His hardwares are probably what you will need to buy.

Looks like you are on the Megan springs? Doesn't look like a big drop, you may get away without those new arms and bolt that Baer had mentioned, but I'm not 100%
