Yeah, my toe is still not perfect. I'm gonna have to ask them to dial it in a bit more on my next alignment.
They did change it from -0.08 to 0.04, so that is a HUGE difference. Should I be shooting for 0.00 as well?
My front camber is only barely out of spec, but the rear definitely will benefit from a kit. That's sitting at -2.3*. Looks great, but that's gonna smoke tires quickly too. I do want a bit more neg camber than what spec calls for, but I don't want to go overboard as well.
I dropped the car for looks as well as for the improved handling. Bringing the camber right back to spec does away with some of that improved handling.
I'm trying to find a nice balance between the two.

alignment kit?
is Eibach align. kit from Tirerack ok to use? Manufacturer Part # is 5.72265K. I have 08 xS and thinking of getting the spring and the align kit at the same time. I understand that I may not need the fronts and I will just order the rears. Which one should I get? camber +/- 3.00 is $29 and +/- 4.00 is $179

Sorry I didnt respond to you guys (soundmike and integr8r) sooner, I didnt get a notice..... if you guys still care... its been awhile 
.... i think I used the wheel well to set the scale (overlayed them and got them to match in size). The photo on the right is my car, stock and unchopped.... I think the differences you are seeing are from Infiniti's chopping. But dunno really, just guessing..... The rocker would have to be higher on mine since they slapped 15 series tires on the wheel, otherwise they would be floating in air or the gap would be bigger.

Have any of the Eibach owners noticed a choppy ride or frequent bottoming out? I am worried that the stock struts would not be sufficient for the lowered ride height. I lowered our 04 G35 coupe on TEIN 350Z H-techs but found the that the car would blow through suspension travel on deep bumps. I ended up installing Tokico D spec struts to increase the dampening for the stiffer, lower springs.

^ about the bottoming out, what does it feel like to you?
Reason i ask is that i've had progressive springs on cars before the G, and because of it's nature, the softer part compresses much faster then it tightens up -- depending on the variables (i.e. road surface, turn, speed, etc.) it did feel like it was bottoming out at times, but really it wasn't. However, it was more pronounced on used dampers vs. aftermarket ones.
