Default Pulls to the right even after alignment

Ok i got my accord.. totally stock.. 2 days after I had it .. it started a slight pull to the right. I had an alignment done and it didn't change anything. I got new tires and stilla pull. I lowered the car... realign and still a pull. I can't find anything bent.. Any ideas what it might be.

some cars when they are lowered to much just pull a direction, theres an explanation but i cant remember it now (damn school)

my car is a lil over 2 inches lowered and my friends is almost 3 inches lowered, we have perfect alignments and they still pull right, it wont effect your tire wear or anything, i had new tires put on the same time i did my alignment

try something.........switch the frt tires side to side ,,if it still pulls rt , see if u can find the alignment results and post them here......If it pulls left u got a tire issue

By the way hae u run into any curbs ???

your car is naturally supposed to pull to the right. It's a safety thing, so if you fall asleep at the wheel you go off the road instead of into on coming traffic. My car does the same thing... all the cars i have ever driven do. And most roads are curved slightly so the water will run off of them.

sorry but i have to disagree... car is not supposed to pull either rt or left.......if u let go the steerign wheel car will drift according to the crown on the road but if a car is properly aligned it could be after 4-5 seconds ,,,,,,,
