Thats normal. Did you get a camber kit? To fix it you'll need to get an alignment, and a camber kit to prevent premature tire wear.

yeah get an SPC rear camber kit and then get an aligment. Any time you lower, you need to get an alignment. Anytime you change the settings on your coilovers (if you get them in the future), you SHOULD get it aligned.

Your toe is pointed inwards I bet. If it is off by a large margin you could eat the inner part of your tire

It's hard to say what's up if you're not veering. I'm actually surprise, cuz' if you haven't got an alignment and camber kit, you should be! Anyway, maybe take the car back in and have them look at it where you got the install done. I know I'm hatin' my car right now cuz' my alignment is all messed and my car is veering all over. But my rear cmaber is on it's way and then it'll be time to focus on replacing the shocks and struts. 1.4" inch drop doesn't matter cuz' mine isn't much lower. Do what you can before it gets too late and you're all over the road.
