The only two ways to correct the camber:

Eibach upper control arms: ~$400
Upper control arm bolts: ~$150

You shouldn't need the rear. I was able to get mine adjusted to -0.8 and I am dropped lower than you are.

The bolts can be ordered from Chris at Precision Motoring. They are a NICO sponsor and active in the Nissan world. His number is 615-750-3892. I believe he is selling them for $150 for a set shipped.

Is that your car on your avatar, what kind of wheels are you rolling on? Can you tell us the specs on them? They look real nice. Thanks

I'd certainly like to know...the grade 10.9 bolts I bought to build these kits were $16 for the bolts alone.

Are you sure those are for this car. From the picture (which might not be actual product), these are not the same bolts.

When I put in the Infiniti M, only three products come up. Lowering springs, adjustable upper control arms, and rear camber arms. There are no bolts for this car.

I went to Eibach's website and put in both the M35 and M45 (just in case they categorized them differently...control arms are the same though) and they do not have bolts for this car. I am guessing that there is an error on that site you were on.

From the link you posted, the diagram shows that these bolts are the cam bolts not the upper control arm bolts. This is ok, but you'll get more adjust-ability by replacing the upper control arm bolts than the same diameter decrease in the cam bolts.

The cam bolts will only work for the non-AWD cars where as the upper control arm bolts work for all models. For this reason alone, I would *figure* that if Eibach did produce these bolts, they would have chosen to the upper control arm bolts.

i'd be very much interested in how these work out if anyone tries.

i could not get within spec with even the Tein Htechs much less the Eibachs.
that's why it blows my mind when people here claim they were able to get within spec with the eibachs. could my shop be that incompetent. if there is no play with stock suspension, how are people getting within spec?

Again, if in fact these do work, they are not the same as the $150 dollar ones I had made and will not give you the same range of adjust-ability as the ones I had made. The cam bolts might be enough to adjust for lowering springs, but surely not enough to accommodate the drop from coilovers. These bolts will also only work on non-AWD models.

Keep us posted and take pics on the installation...

Does camber need to be adjusted for a mild drop like the Eibach's? I didn't have to jack on my Maxima for a 1.4" drop.

I am not 100% sure, but there are people here that have done the Eibach drop and been able to get the camber in spec without needing anything after market.

I hope I'm one of the lucky ones. If I can bring myself to actually drop the car. I really don't want to sacrifice any comfort, and peoples opinions can only tell you so much. :(.

Trust me when say the are wrong. There are no cam bolts for the AWD. The AWD has an axle to clear and thus there is a fork (honda like) that mounts to the spindle and the spindle is VERY different from the non-AWD.

Image

Notice the fork there for the front axle...there is no place for camber adjustment there...you have to use the upper control arm to adjust the camber on the AWD. No way around it. All I did is buy grade 10.9 bolts (overkill, I know) and had a machine shop mill 1mm off for the length of the mount. The "kit" is not visible to take a pic of. If you look at the pic above, you'll see the upper control arm...the bolts allow play in the control arm to adjust the camber.

As far as Chris not calling you back, that is unusual, but not out of the question...I will talk to him about that.
