Your toe could be out or worn bushings. The reason why you only see the wear on the inner side is due to the negative camber but that doesnt mean its the main cause.

Your issue is Toe adjustment. Did you get an alignment after you installed the springs? Camber would be gradual across the whole tire. Toe will cause your secondaries to go bald rendering the tires garbage. I know because this happened to my rear tires last year.

I had my AWD lowered on F-Sport springs, about the same height as NF. Same story, inside edge is worn out WAY more then the rest of the tire. So, I think THIS is going to be my next tire.
