Default Help?

When hitting a corner I notice that one of my front tires may pull to the side (not always, but usually when there is an irregularity in the road). Which is super annoying because tire alignments are expensive and the service associates like to bang up the rims during the work.

So. I was wondering what I can do to beef up the car handling. More specifically, is there anything that I could/should look into to reduce the aforementioned problem? I have this delusion that the front sway bar might be something I want to replace (not because it's broken, but because it's ancient).

I honestly have no idea. My ride is a 1993 Honda Del Sol, and the handling in general could be much better. I don't know where to start. Any ideas and criticisms are welcome.

The car was lowered 2 inches by the second previous owner. I recently put in new adjustable ball joints in the front.

Lastly, I felt as though this was a good section to place my post, as the tires section contained mostly questions about tire size and rims etc. etc. So, if I have made a mistake, I apologize before hand.

you need an alignment, plain and simple. talk to some locals and see who they use for alignments.
if you're worried about your rims getting scratched, put different wheels on for the alignment. if you don't have another set, find someone you can borrow a set from.

the wheels have no effect on the alignment, as long as the outside lip of the rims aren't bent at all.
