Check your tire pressure. If thats good try switching the tires side to side and see if it still does it. Some times a tire will cause a car to drift one way.

Agreed - check your tire pressues. And it could also just be the road too. Most roads are "crowned" so that water drains off them to the right side.

I've been struggling with the same thing. I've had my car aligned 3 times at Firestone and 1 time at an independent shop in the last 300 miles and my car still pulls to the right. I've tried stock rims and tires and aftermarket wheels and tires. The numbers were pretty close between shops. I think Firestone's rack was more tweaked. I do have more faith in the independent's rack since it doesn't pull to the right as MUCH, but it still does it. I have @ -1.5 deg camber in front, -1 in the rears and about a 1/32 toe out on all 4 wheels. I think evos are very sensitive to road crowns and with my alignment specs, it'll pull right almost all the time.

I work at a Sears part time and have had my alignment done prolly 10 times in the past year and a half and it always still pulls left and right (depending on the road surface), even with my settings dead center between the specified range. I've even shut off the computer compensating for weight (180lbs I think) and sat in the car while the alignment was done, with the same results!! It must be an inherent thing certain Evo's have!!
