G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods

Just looking at this picture makes me break out in a cold sweat and hyperventilate.
Hey folks,
I am looking to pull the trigger, and put some lowering springs on my daily driver. It is a 2008 G35x, and is running Niche Sport Milan 20'son it. Cousin had a 09 G37x, and used Eibach's and recommended putting a rear camber kit in also.
I am looking for some input/recommendations before purchasing if someone could give me some sound advice, it would be greatly appreciated! Eibach, Tanabe, or Tein's? Just the rear Camber kit or can I get away without it. Consensus seems to say I will tear up tires otherwise... and I would need to realign most likely I imagine then thereafter.
Cheers!

You might post this same question in the suspension sub-forum over in the second gen sedan section. I have no idea about drops on second gen sedans but the predominate theory is that any drop can work without a camber kit, just depends on how often you want to replace tires. On the first gen sedans we say that with any drop of an inch or more a kit is recommend F/R and toe adjustment kits are as well to be able to maintain close to stock alignment specs.
I'm dropped 3" in an 05 sedan and I'm in factory specs on all 4 corners with my set-up, SPL V3 front camber arms, Stillen rear camber arms, SPC rear toe bolts. I wear tires evenly and get a lot of mileage out of them.

windows, marker lights, grill
I just found this G35x 2 weeks ago. One owner with 58,000 in Dallas. Took her today and got the windows tinted, liked the look of the black on khaki so I blacked out the grill and my marker lights.
Changed the Diff gear lube; rear upper control arm, new cv axles (l&r), bought white line diff bushings and a carrier bearing. Will likely get the trams fluid and parts on this weekend.

Never liked the blacked out sidemarkers, looks like you have 2 dark band aids there. But it's your car so enjoy.
Ran my car through car wash yesterday. Had bird poop on my windshield today, didn't even wipe it off. #soaverage
Finally found a set of used Invidia Gemini CBE and got them installed. Been looking for awhile now that I found one I couldn't be more happier. Quiet on idle but when I give it a throttle it roars just how I want it.
