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!
Sorry I disagree with this. 1st, anything lower than 1 inch your car won't get back to factory spec without the camber kits so there is no hurry to do an alignment right away. 2nd, people wait till spring settled THEN do a 4 wheel alignment with the camber kits and toe bolts otherwise you'd waste money do aligment twice if you want to keep it in spec.

To answer OP's question, yes toe is worse then camber and it will eat up your tires badly. It's really your call if you want to get camber kits/toe bolt or not. Some people love the neg camber stance and don't bother change the tires every so often. If you belong to that group, you don't need to spend money on Camber kits. Just go for an allignment and sacrifice the camber(make it more negative) to save the toe(get it as close to the factory spec as you can) and call it a day. If you do that, remember to swap tires from left to right sometimes to even out the wear. If you do want to bring your alignment to factory spec, then just get the camber kits and toe bolts and do an alignment after the springs are settled. SPC is a popular one for the Z and G. It's affordable and good qulity.
