A good suspension guru (or shop?) that can install my KSport Kontrol's on my Maxima.
A little past my knowledge in the setup part of it.
I'll need my fenders rolled, and if you can pull fenders, that will be a bonus.

Make sure you get an alignment right after or your tires will be dead with in the month.

If you get them bolted up I can help you set the car up to do what you want, but my time is money. a good place to start on a FWD Nissan is 1.5-2" lower then stock, (from the center of the wheel to the fender) 2 degrees negative camber in the front. and Zero toe all the way around.
Those are the major issues, the camber MIGHT allow you to not roll the fenders. but will help you when cornering. remember when you move the top of the tire in with the camber plate it gives you more tire room, PLUS lets the tire sit flatter when the body rolls.
Lets say your tire is Identical to mine 650 mm OD. We then know the radius is 325mm using basic Geometry (Which I've forgotten most of) you can determine that radius over 2 degrees the top of the tire should be inset a little over 11mm from a Zero camber position... now that being said, you most likely have -.5 degrees from the factory so your net top movement will only be about 8mm inboard. (but 8mm is all your gonna get from a hack and slash fender roll anyway)
camber does not kill tires, toe is what kills tires. one good thing is there is not too much to mess up on your cars suspension. it's basically just a big Sentra (which I have a lot of experience tuning) so you can't mess with the caster or do anything to the rear. (less to mess up is good, when your starting out!) Let someone new or non performance minded align a Miata or something with a million settings and they will get it wrong 9 times out of 10.

Judging by the type of wheels hes running im assuming there is not much performance involved and the lowering is mainly for looks. With the camber dialed in with more than 2 degrees I would definitely give him about .05 toe in to save him on tires. I can do the install or the alignment afterward. remember the rear is a strait bar across so the back will have almost 0 negative camber. The pic is showing the wheels stick out just a bit so might have rubbing issues when you lower it.
