I have been running mine for a year at -2.5 camber and zero toe to save the tires. They are just needing to be replaced due to inside wear. I drive very aggressively and drift my car alot. I dont remember the spec off the top of my head, but all you will loose is a hardly noticeable amount of response for normal driving.

thanks for the comment, but i just called my mechanic and he said since im dropped 3 inches, if i put the toe at 0 it would give me even more inside camber wear.

closer to zero is better for tire wear.

we set the toe to around .18 total toe.....oem spec is .08. the more positive toe helps against the rapid wear and feathering of the front tires.

toe eats tires more then camber. I would keep it at 0 or within oem spec like others have said.

Toe changes with speed. On a RWD car, the fronts will move out and the rears will move in. For the best wear on the fronts set it to max toe-in spec of .08°. At highway speeds that should be about zero toe. Both the G and the 350Z will eat up inside front tires if the toe isn't set right. The 350Z has a TSB describing this: NTB04-043a.
