what kind of camber will i need?

ima be lowered on full 350z suspension. not just springs.
do i need to worry about getting a certain amount of degree with this set up? which brand should i look for, i hear some will unbalance with bumps and cause for sooner re-balancing.. is this true?
thanks for any input.

Rebalancing of what?

You'll be fine without a camber kit. Just install the springs and away you go?

no... you shouldnt worry. If you were lowered on Tein S-Techs, then for sure yes!

An alignment after you drop it yes, but no rebalancing.

well right now im on z fronts and coupe rears springs, but ima go with a complete z drop instead(struts + springs, revised), which means i would require a camber kit

i know that even now i needed a camber kit with my current setup just never bothered.. but my tires are being chewed up fast

I wouldn't bother, I was dropped 1.5" before and didn't worry about it.

I'm now purposely running neg camber though....

it's more likely your toe that killed your tires.

if your front wheels is already in OEM alignment spec or very close to it.. just get the rears but make sure they have the toe bolt so you can adjust that.
