Do you guys have alignment issues or tire wear problems with NF210?

Here are pictures of my 2000 GS400 that I just purchased 3 months ago. Last week, I lowered it with a set of Tanabe DF210's on factory shocks for the time being. I will upgrade to KYB's in a few months or so.

i dont have before pics of my own car but i found this pic of a stock height car with a shot close to the one i did of my car. there is a difference from the stock height. it reduced the wheel gap close to 50%. also keep im mind that the springs are only a week old on the car. a little bit more time and the springs will start to settle. imo, its a perfect drop considering i dont have to worry about speed bumps and steep driveways

Those of you with Tanabe's, do you guys have abnormal tire wearing problems with stock, kyb, or bilstein shocks/struts?

How do most of you deal with the front of the car being noticeably higher than the back. I am afraid to get lowering springs and be in the same boat.
