I installed the Eilbach springs for an M45 on my 2007 M35X to get a lower ride and look. I got a 1.5" drop in the front and 1 7/*\8" drop in the rear. I then installed 20" Lexani rims with 2.55 x 35 x 20's on all four corners. As you can imagine this changed the alignment of the front end. The caster was terrible and began to eat the inside of my tires. I took it to both NTB and Infiniti and found out much to my dismay there is no adjustment of the front suspension allowed. It's evidently all fixed parts. This floored me because every car I ever owned (35) could be adjusted. My Falken tires were destroyed along the inside within 20,000 miles. I have ordered new tires but haven't installed them yet. My question is: is there any way to realign the front to get the proper camber and caster so my tires will last a little longer? Thanks

Eibach makes a camber kit (arms) for the front and rear of the M's, I don't know if they would fit the Mx's.

Thx. I spoke with the Eiback R & D guy. He wasn't sure either. Because they're in California, there isn't much of a need for X's so he wouldn't say. At $450 a side, I don't want to get them and then have them not fit. I had a street rod business for years. I might fabricate some if I can't find any pretty soon. Thank you.
