Default alignment problems

i need some help everyone i have an acura integra. my car pulls to the left after i just did an alignment on it. the final readings were 0 toe for both front wheels and .10 for the rears, camber is -2.3 on the left and -2.8 on the right fronts and the camber in the back is only off -1.1 on both sides(i lowered it without a camber kit installed yet), but caster is .1 on the left and -1.3 on the right...the problem im having and cant understand is with the camber not to far off when you compare sides how could it pull left so hard..the other thing is with the caster like it is im pretty sure it should be pulling right if anything...i did get into a low speed accident that mainly effected the left front of the car but the body shop said it had no frame damage and everything is fine..it would be very helpful if i could get some ideas on whats causing this condition

Caster on a 3rd gen Integra should be +1*, give or take.

Sounds like your subframe was shifted in the accident.

Cross caster can definitely cause a pull. Negative caster is bad, and needs correction.

right caster is off (but honda/acura dont have caster adjusment unless u got a crossmember bar that is adjustable)its suppose to be almost even but one can be higher and lower camber is ok.have more info did u do a 4 wheel or fronts only ?
