It sounds more intimidating than it really is. The rears are easy but the fronts take more work because there is more to it.
The Z springs may cause camber issues, so while you are under there, you might as well install front and rear camber correction parts and 350Z Tokico D-specs.

I'm not sure if the Z springs will require a camber kit or not on a sedan. You'll have to try it and see. You'll be dripping the sedan at least an inch and whether the alignment will be within the outside of th alignment specs. But just because they are within the range of alignment, won't mean that it shouldn't have a camber kit. That's up to each person that installs lowering springs and their ability to buy tires as the insrides wear out faster.
i would say to pick up the spc rear camber kit since its relatively cheap and easy to install. You can do it while you are installing the rear springs anyways so might as well kill two birds with one stone

Any recommendations on a good and relatively inexpensive camber adjustement set? And do I need sets for front and rear?

How many of you attempt this yourself? If you have a shop do it,how much have you been charged for the labor?

You always need a camber adjustment when you lower the car. The question is whether you can live with the tire wear from the new camber setting. Even if the camber is within the outside limit of acceptable factory limits, you will have more tire wear than if the camber is in the middle of specs. That is okay with some and not with others.
For about $650 or so I can get front and rear camber kits that will save my $1200 tires from accelerated wear. In the long run, a camber kit will save you money.
