Uneven Tire wear

My evo is lowered on Hotchkis springs. Had an allignment done after the install and everything was within specs. After 7,000 miles i had my tires rotated and i noticed there is a lot more wear on the inner front tires. Almost like camber/toe wear. The rears had even wear. Is it normal for the front tires to wear faster than the rears or is my allignment possibly out of spec?

The factory toe allignment spec is a wear angle. It is done for better handling. You can have the shop adjust the toe so that it won't wear, but there will be some handling loss. How much I am not sure as I don't autoX. I have the same springs also and set mine up with no toe wear and can't tell a differance, but again I am not a autoX guy.

So just an allignment set to 0 would fix this wear issue?
