the most common reason for a car pulling is the rear toe being off.

Cut springs are very inconsistent in thier behavior, and its possible that one of the rear ones settled differently when you were changing the tires, causing a siltightly different toe.

your springs are making your car pull... Get a new set . Try buying a set of coil overs ....or even better.. just a 2 inch drop spring would be better for you.

There lies your problem , like before mentioned , when you jacked up the car the springs stretch then when you lower the car they may not settle the same.
Hell a pair of " budget " springs lick Progressive springs beats the hell out of cut springs. Not to mention that setup is hell on the other components of your car.

correction:

Rear toe being out will not cause a pull. if the thrust line however is out it can cause a crooked steering wheen but not a pull.

Cross Caster is the biggest reason a car pulls

also cross camber can pull but not as bad as caster.

Toe doesn't cause pulling

wow.. i feel honored to be in someones sig. thanks. lol.. but anyways. even if your car is slow and rust you shouldnt put cut springs in your car.. id otn think a shop would bother doing an alignment unless you replaced them.. unless they dont care and just want your money. unless you want to hit a bump one day and loose control of your car and kill your self and maybe even someone els.. i dont really care if you die.. but id hate to see you kill someone els. and thanks for turning your caps lock on.
