In the later stages when it settles down then you have problems in trying to get your alignments back to par. Basically if u get your alignments done right away. It will settle down with the alignment in tact. Will also save your tires to be honest. Think smart especially with a car like a Z. Trust!
Lol, he did get a four wheel alignment but his settings are all out of factory tolerance.

OP, read this and you should be good to go- Suspension adjustments and how they affect handling

Here is a link to some front/rear camber arms and toe bolts. You could get them from numerous sites but Z1 is pretty awesome- Suspension1

*And it looks like you can get away with just camber arms but I would get toe bolts too just to be safe. Camber and toe go together and affect each other... so even though your toe is within specs now, once you start messing with camber is might through it out of tolerance and vise versa.

*Honestly after looking at your alignment sheet, its really not too bad. Your front camber on the left side is only .1 out of spec. You really could just leave it, tire should wear close to evenly with the right. I would go front camber arms if you plan on lowering again in the future with coilovers or different springs.

Also, your rear camber is -2.5. That isn't to extreme. Lots of members on here run aggressive camber like that. You'll notice faster tire wear though on the insides of the tire. Stock tolerance is max -2.2. I would at the minimum get rear camber arms.
