Put in the fronts OP as everyone has said and your problems will go away.

I had only the rears done for a few days and it was a very weird floaty feeling as well driving around town.

Before I get my alignment, what do ya think of a little negative camber? Like -2 degrees.

Warning 370z and G37 will launch the strut, you need compressers to remove and install these springs.
True! i just used an impact to take the oem springs off. then I then put the new spring on the strut, and used a floor jack under the lower arm to get the strut shaft back into the upper mount and impacted it on. Takes a little working with, but still pretty simple

I push down on the spring with my hand and install the nut, then impact it on. Its really easy to do, i'm not a bodybuilder and only weigh 170.
