To OP:
First off, I'm surprised your rear toe doesn't affect the drive to begin with... the toe in or toe out on the rears should really affect the behavior of the car while you're going through turns, driving over bumps and uneven surfaces, etc...
The front toe is already adjustable from the factory, but it can only be adjusted so much, and as far as I know, there are no aftermarket front toe kits on the market. If you can't get the toe up front back to spec, then camber arms will help give you more toe adjustment as adjusting camber affects toe, and vice versa... and that is where an alignment gets a bit too complicated for someone who hasn't been doing alignments that long.

I'm continually surprised by how many members lower their Infiniti's and don't bother doing any kind of research, and complain when they start eating tires. From the factory our cars have some adjust ability but not quite enough to wear tires for say 30K miles....some do. Our G35s require complete camber/ toe kits when you lower it 1/2" to 3" doesn't matter. At the price of tires, yea even cheap tires you'll be $ ahead buy doing the job right....![Biggthumpup](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif)

Now once my shocks started wearing out I did notice more uneven wear.

That would really depend on your weight and what you want out of your car. If you hit the curvy roads a lot, you might want a little or maybe even a lot of camber. But you want the toe to be at 0 when your car is moving, so that would depend on your weight and possibly your passengers. Either way, any good alignment would be much better than what you have right now.
With that said, I would say that you should just get an alignment, and take it from there. If there's still a bit more wear than you like, then you need to change the settings a bit more.

As for the toe, with the front you don't need to buy anything and I don't think anything is available to adjust the toe, it's all done using factory parts. To be honest, the factory toe adjustment for the front is plenty. I have -4.7 degrees of camber up front and my tear wear is as it should be. Toe is set properly, although in my case I needed the toe to be set up to follow the road more so I get better wear. Only disadvantage is that if the road is curvy, my car pulls in that direction.
For the rear you can adjust the toe only so much, after that you would need to buy aftermarket toe bolts. That will be good enough to about -4 degrees of camber (in the rear).

No, that's the toe. The front A arms only adjust camber. When you lower your car, you're adding natural camber and for the fronts it's impossible to adjust without buying aftermarket A arms for camber adjustment. The rear is different, the rear you can adjust from factory a little.
