The are few things that can cause a pull.
1.The road, no one road is actually straight. Usually you want to be in a left lane since usually it has to be higher then the right.
2.Tire pressure.
3.Directional tire mounted back words on one side.
4.One new tire and one old.
5.Two different tire brands.
6.Camber is more positive on one side then the other.
7.Caster in more lower on one side then the other.
The two above once are a little different since they have to work together but I am not going in details.
8.Brakes.
9.The steering wheel maybe be off but the customer thinks the car is pulling.
10.The rear could be dog-tracking and you feel it in the front.

If you have ruled out the tires then the next thing I will tell you is that you need to get an alignment. You dont have to be in accident in order for your alignment to go in a left field. All it takes for you is to hit a good size pot hole and you will thru something off. And for the record toe does not make your car pull, for the most part it wears out the tires very fast.

UPDATE!!!

The problem was that the rear toe bolt was stripped, causing any alignment to be fine on the rack, then after a few miles, it would loosen up and be all over the place. Also, it seems that a friend and I didn't have all the coilovers even when we installed them. He showed me on a tape measure that every corner was at a different height lol. I'm pretty sure that we had it even when we did it, maybe they became a little loose from the bad alignment or something. Either way, they installed a new toe bolt, evened out the ride height, gave it a complete corner balance and a fresh alignment. Overall, the car feels so much tighter and amazing when cornering!

2 thumbs up to Palm Beach Performance!

Also, a big thanks to Josh (S4STIEVO) for everything, and Ryan (06MRV8Killer) for the referral there!

Took 1 alignment to find out that that bolt was striped. So then we had to order the bolt, then it came in and they installed that and did another alignment. It still pulled so they checked everything out and found the coilovers weren't even. So, about 2 days to diagnose and fix everything.

Heh, as for the beer, gimme 1 months and I'll buy you a round hahah.
