as long as toe is in spec, it's all good. if anything he can flip the tires when the insides are gone. i'm at over 10k miles with -3 degrees camber also but my toe is perfectly fine so my wear isn't bad at all.

They are both great cars. The 350z feels more like a sports car (somewhat noisy, bumpy, no backseat etc) whereas the G35 is more about luxury and comfort. It just depends on what you are looking for in a car.

Stance coilovers utilize linear springs (12k/5k, 200mm/200mm). I haven't run the coils on their lowest (softest) setting. They are 15 way adjustable and when I installed them I was running them at 11/15 front and 9/15 rear. To me, they were noticeably stiffer, but the ride was not harsh at all. Very comfortable around town, even on bumpy roads with my stock OEM track wheels. Keep in mind that I'm coming from an s14 with tanabe DD coilovers. I now have the dampening turned up to 15/15 front and 13/15 rear, and I love it. Handles great in the twisties and during spirited driving. At this setting it is probably bumpy and stiff for most, but thats how a sports car should feel

Jon is correct. I've run my past cars at between -2.5 to -4 deg camber all around with my toe in spec and my tires did not wear out after 4-5k miles as you guys are saying.

My front toe is perfectly in spec (stock toe arms have enough adjustability to get the toe back into spec even when you are slammed). In the rear, I am running Battleversion rear toe arms and my rear toe is also in stock spec. Keep in mind these arms with only work with a true rear coilover system, as they take the place of the spring bucket.

this man speaks the truth. if youre wearing out tires in 5-6k miles, theres more off than just camber. ive had anywhere from -2.4 - -3.2 in the back of my 240 and ive never had any type of insane wear because my alignment guy always makes sure my toe is within reasonable specs.

I believe the lip kit is only for 03-05s. The full bumper kit will fit 06+
