Default Changing lanes in 7sec?!?

Right after I got my car aligned, I noticed that the car pulls to the right, enough to change lanes in 7sec.

The car is lowered, the front lower than the rear, but not too excessive. I have coilovers, stillen sways, and rear camber arms installed. Before everything was put in, the car was known to have the infamous feathering problem and had the front tires were swapped out thanks to the recall on them.

The shop gave me the print out of the specs and everything seems okay except for the front camber which they could not bring back to spec due to the drop. I'm not too sure if the front camber may play a role in the problem, but I could be wrong. I did read somewhere that there is a TBS about this but I had no luck finding it.

Anyone else having this issue or have a solution???

you have coilovers you are going to need the front control arms, to get it to a spec that wont pull!!! have it aligned at a speed shop, someplace that techs scca stuff should work!

also check the balance of your tires or air in them.

Thanks for the advice! So the front camber does effect the alignment. I guess I'll wait for the SPC front camber arms...
