Get your alignment checked. It's highly possible that your toe is off. I was on Tein CS and H&R springs before. I never had any issues with improper tire wear. You can also prolong your tire life by flipping your tires (as Batmobile mentioned) every oil change. Just make sure your tires are directional.

i need em to be | and | -_-
are you guys sure i can flip the stock tires? if not i'll get some used set of tires and just throw them on for now.
take a pic of your front tires so we can see how much tread you have on the outside and inside, if you don't have that much on the outside it may not be worth the remounting/balancing cost

You definitely need to get your alignment done after a drop. I dropped my car on the Tein CS, about the same height as yours, at about 15k miles and I could've went another 15k on the stock Dunlop tires. I think the toe being off shreds the tires much more than having a camber issue. I'm sure you can find 2-3 hours out of your time to get an alignment done, it'll save you time and money in the short run.

I got an alignment a week or two after getting the coils installed, so I'm not sure about how it was before. I switched to 19s at about 26,500 miles but the tires couldn't lasted for another 2-3k. Those tires have been taken on and off a few times so I'm sure the left and right side got switched around, but the wear is not that uneven. I think those tires usually last around 30k so I really didn't lose that much life on them.
So guys, there’s no camber kit for the x50. My front tires are pretty much all gone (there’s no thread on the inside of the tires) My question for you guys that are dropped, what do you guys about the camber being off? I'm dropping on h&r springs, I’ve had them on the car since March. Other than buying tires every 7 months, what’s the best thing to do?
2. definitely get your tires flipped (right/left front, right/left rear). i'm due to get mine flipped.
3. i thought H&R springs are supposed to be lower than s-techs?...
when i took my car in for alignment after waiting for my s-techs to settle (fact or fiction, i waited regardless), my post-alignment values were within factory spec (my pre-alignment values were pretty close, but still not within spec). i believe with the relatively conservative drop of the aftermarket springs available for the 2is, the alignment won't go too far out of place.
i recommend flipping your tires first, and then getting an alignment. maybe that might help.
oh, and you can see a few other 2is owners' post-suspension work alignment reports here:

Yeah most likely 2mro after work I'll somehow have to manage to flip them @ my friends shop, then run off to an alignment shop...any specs I should be asking them to set the toe and camber to?
