1. You won't need a camber kit up front unless you want to eek every mm of flushness out of your setup. A rear camber kit is so cheap (less than $200 including the toe bolts) I always recommend people to get one.

2. I recommend the SPC (Eibach is the same thing) or SPL camber rear camber kit. The SPC is cheaper and is great, a lot of us run it.

3. Keep your 235s up front, based on your comments I have a feeling that 225 on a 9 is gonna be a tad more stretch than you want to run.

4. I would aim to be at:

9 +16 (+31 with 15mm spacer) - If you want to be at about the same point as the rear then do a 20mm spacer and pinch your fronts flat (maybe flare a tiny bit).
10 +22 (+37 with 15mm spacer)

You setup will be 5mm more aggressive than when I was dropped 2.5" on my Nismos. Your tires will be a tad more stretched and you'll be .25" lower than I was.
Thanks for the input and stay tuned. Hopefully i will be able to get this all together before the sedan gtg in September. What do people use to pinch the front flat?

^+1, use the Eastwood fender finisher. Prior to pinching your front make sure and remove the bolts and clips in the fender liner first otherwise they will leave an indentation on your fender.

M@rCo, you dash lights will remain on until you swap your tire sizes out. You should just get a 245/35 out back.

Pinch the front with a small hammer, pull by hand. Paint is likely to crack no matter how you slice it. May as well send it all to hell and refinish it nicely.

I wouldn't use a hammer on the fronts. Fender finisher is where it's at. The metal is thin and it's a single wall. Heat it up, use the finisher and you'll get a smooth and even "roll" and somewhat of a flare. I had my fronts actually rolled, but when I got a new fender and pinched them with the fender finisher, they came out even and clean...OEM-like. Rears are totally different since there is much more structural support. As Marcus said for the fronts, make sure all the clips and bolts are out. Also make sure to clean the inner part making sure it is free of debris. One little pebble and you'll have an indentation. Happened to me when I had mine rolled.

I have the rears rolled already, so i am not worried about that. I just want to make sure to tell the shop exactly what i need when i have them do the fender work.

Dont buy it from ebay unless its infiniti dealer selling it. A friend of mine got one and the key sucked sometimes it didn't even work and he ended up stuck in the parking lots.

Lucky you. Ive never had issue with the outside of the car, only inner fenders. Not like it matters, I always sand the inner lip and seal everything then gravel guard or re paint.
