Suspension&Alignment gurus, need help please re: Sedan

My sedan presently has a set of 04 coupe shocks and springs, front a rear. I'm considering going with a set of revised z shocks and struts.

I can't find my alignment sheet, when I had the alignment performed on my current setup(maybe a year ago), the specs were just in line. The rears have a little more room to go before they are out of spec, but the fronts are just on the edge, at least in camber(can't remember caster/toe numbers).

So, if I'm close to the edge right now in the front, and go with z springs, how much of an impact can I expect? I don't want to do this if I also have to buy front camber and toe kits.

Also - I might keep my current coupe rear springs. Will there be any problem with running 04 coupe springs on revised z rear struts?

My last alignment had the z springs up front. My front camber was -1.1 left and -1.0 right. I used the specs for a coupe of the same year and specified range for front camber was .25|-1.45. I don't see any abnormal wearing. I still need to get an alignment since I have now gone to the 06 z suspension front and rear. I may wait on the alignment because I'm about to get a steal of a deal on the nismo s tune suspension, sway bars as well.

With the Z shocks and springs on your sedan you will out of spec on camber for sure but it won't be bad at all. Like Hybrid said you'll still be within coupe and Z specs I believe. If you're worried about tire wear you'll be fine. Just make sure the toe is set correctly.

You'll be fine Trey, a little more than -1 camber all around, just make sure you flip/flop the tires at one point in there life and you'll get plenty of mileage out of em.
