I'm also in the pot of spacers adding camber. I couldn't get the camber "in spec" with the spacers, so I just took them off, because it was the only I could think of causing the problem. Brought the Z in the next week and what do you know, they got it "in spec". I also noticed the Z's was a little taller when I took the spacers off.

To exaggerate, imagine putting on 20ft spacers. The leverage is so great that the springs can't hold up the car, the chassis probably will sit on the ground, and you'll probably end up with -20 degrees camber.
+1 , but with out normal camber , the car would sit on the ground anyhow.

The normal spacers we run , do not affect it enought to matter, and we have a huge camber range -1.1 to -2.1 in the rear.
