Camber
Neg camber is not a bad thing you just dont want too much of it. I think the Z has a -1.3 deg stock camber in the rear. Ususally springs that only lower the car around 1" will still keep the car close to spec. Over time as the spring compresses a bit as most do you might have it add a little more neg camber. If you track your car alot you will increase grip in corners with neg camber. But for everyday driving it takes its toll on tires. If you run the same size tire all the way around its not a problem. You could simply rotate the tires to even the wear. But if you are running different size wheels front and rear you are stuck buying new tires more often.
The other thing to remember is as you straighten camber out you change the toe of the wheel. The stock suspension gives you really no way to adjust toe. Thats why after correcting a fair amount of neg camber its important to have toe rods to correct the toe of the wheel. If you look close at the pic from above photo you can see the toe is also different along with the camber.

here are the numbers from my printout....
front left ---> -0.6
front right ---> -1.3 (no idea why this is so much different from the other side??)
rear left ---> -1.8
rear right ---> -1.7
so, how are those numbers???

djkern- try and get the front closer to each other (-1.3 each). You may also want to try and bring your rears a little closer as well. -1.8 isn't critical but will wear your tires as lotus mentioned.
front left ---> -0.6 (get this adjusted closer to the right)
front right ---> -1.3
