Its best to stick with the factory specs. Once you lower the car, you change the stance of the vehicle. Because of the suspension design, it will typically give you negative camber the lower you go. There is no way around it. You can toe in the front wheels to help even out the contact patch to the ground, but you just put more stress/wear on the whole width of the tire than just the tire edge. The F Sport drop is not that aggressive that it will wear out your tires in just 10k miles. There are a lot of factors that contribute to accelerated tire wear but dropping it with F Sport springs does not require special alignment specs. Stick with the factory settings.
Like so...

How can we achieve this look? (aside from airbags of course)

How much did you pay to have the springs put on? My local Lexus dealership quoted me $861 to install the F-Sport springs on my IS350 - that seems CRAZY high!!
