Im dropped on f-sport springs and am experiencing uneven wear on the inside. which camber arms should i get to fix this and are they easy to install? Thanks
+1 get an alignment now that it seems that the springs have settled, sounds like the toe is out of wack.
Properly installed springs don't "settle"... you're good to get an alignment the same day. Folks who think they're experiencing this are probably experiencing incorrect install causing the bushings to deflect. I think there's even a sticky somewhere on here about how to properly reset the bushings on the 2IS to avoid it.
That said, yeah, even non-dropped cars have this problem, it's usually the alignment (toe specifically).... that and/or running tire pressure too low.
My stockies (at stock inflation, on the stock sport suspension) were totally shredded on the front insides at about 17k miles for example.
I run 40 psi rear and 38 psi front on my replacement Hankook V12s (stock size) and at about 14k miles so far show no unusual inner wear at all.
I just recently had my car serviced at the dealer and asked my service advisor about this issue and he said it was normal because of the camber on these cars. I am also experiencing inner wear and just hit 17k.

Yeah, the dealer is wrong... which is usually the case.
