Default Eibach's installed, steering off!?!

Just installed the Eibach's and my steering pulls ever so slightly to the right. That is when I have my wheel straight ahead it crawls a little to the right. I assume this is due to the springs seating themselves. I have only driven it 20 mi. since install, so I hope it will settle out. Anyone else have an experience like this? I will wait 2 weeks for settling and have it aligned. I do notice the ride is tighter, bounce is gone.

It shouldn't be pulling just because of the springs, it could be due to installation and what was losened for removal of the strut and maybe knocked out of alignment.

eibachs are progressive and might actually be softer than stock when they aren't fully loaded.
