Front camber at -2.0, caster at +6 to +7, toe should be 1/16" in. Rear camber at -1.75, rear toe at 1/16" in. If you set the rear toe to zero, and out. You will get a condition called snap-oversteer. It doesn't happen all the time, but when is does. You will be cleaning out your shorts! It's scary when you are looking at the guy behind you, eyeball to eyeball. Front sway bar full stiff, rear bar full soft. The front of the Z has too much roll in it. You WILL have to change the dampening on your coilovers. If not. You are SCREWED! If you are not willing to make changes. You are doomed!

My set-up. I'm running bigger tires then most anyone.

Front 285/35-19 PS4S on 19x9.5, +25. Rear 345/30-19 PSS on 19x12, +28.
Front camber -2.5, caster +6.5, 1/16" toe in.
Rear camber -1.8, 1/16" toe in.
Hotchkis front sway bar, stock rear sway bar.
Rear diff is a OS Giken set-up at a 1.5 way, with 70% lock up.
My whole suspension is out of the SPL catalog. No rubber bushings.
I turn off my VDC and have done the YAW sensor mod too.
My Z likes to dart around. It's a bit nervous.
Show off!!!

This is a great place to start and works well for a dual purpose track and street car that sees some twisty road time. If you are just dd the car there is nothing wrong with having front camber at -1.0 to -1.5 to extend tire life and if you want to maximize straight line speed....well that's a whole other story.
