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.

Thanks Forza370z, your advice is right on with MJB and Fuct. Fuct told me he was running -1.7 and -2.0 w/o a camber kit or toe bolts. He gave the same feedback as you guys before I started down this road. It is pretty reassuring to know that I am getting quality advise from you all.
I'm going to see how the tires wear for now. I live in a small town, so knowing the shop owner has some dividends. He has promised me a free alignment adjustment later if needed. I may go with camber arms and toe bolts at that time. Thanks again and Rep given.
