I know you can find offset trailing arm bushings for an e30 to correct toe or camber, I would imagine the same is available for a ti...
I would wager that your subframe or right trailing arm is bent. Did you ever get it aligned before the drop? My bud's e30 had a bent subframe for a while and toasted tires like you couldn't believe...(and the handling was...exciting.)

The BMW trailing arm rear suspension is incredibly limited in terms of adjustment, making it hard to dial out stuff like your weird toe. (read: not adjustable.)
