I am down an inch all the way around. I run 0,0 when i am in the car and 13,14 when my old lady is in the car. I also have the hotchkis sways and 19" Gram lights - see sig.
My camber is close to -2 all the way around so i will need to get some A-arms but i am waiting to see what hotchkis releases before making my purchase.

what tire sizes will you run? If you dont want to roll your fenders, this may be the primary determinant in how much you can drop the car.
My 255/35 and 285/30 fit with room at my current drop. In fact, i think i can fit 265/30 and 295/30 but this will prevent me from lowering the car anymore.
I have difficulty navigating some parking lots and driveways at my current drop so I dont think i would ever go down more anyway.

sorry I'm another coupe, but I don't think it's that far off from a Z.
From the measurements listed in the 350z instructions:
rear - lowered strut 8 full turns to get a fuller ride out of the strut. It was compressed more then 3/4, now it rests about half way and seems to have a more firmer response. Then lowered spring 1 full turn.
Front - lowered strut 6 turns and raised the spring 4 turns.
after allignment the rear camber is 1.3 both sides, front left is 1.8/ front right is 2.2. with the SPC rear camber/toe kit I got the rear into spec, but the front is way out of wack and I need A-arms.
front wheel is right at the fender line, rear wheel has a 2 finger gap. The only rubbing is on the passenger side front wheel getting up steep drive ways.
285/30/20 rear
245/35/20 front
i'm set to 4 front and 3 rear for street. I think the front felt softer becaue of the bigger side walls.
The steering is very twitchy now and swings around turns fast.
