No shop can fix alignment. Desperate help
THE WHITE PIECE OF PAPER IS FROM THE LAST PLACE
I have been to four shop and no one can fix the pulling to the right.
Here's the status of the car. I have stock Bridgestone potenza tires on the 19" f sport wheels
I have flipped the front tires and I still get the pull to the right
Tires have 3000 miles on them and I hope I put them back on the car right, being that they are non directional.
I have a tanabe spring install.
Car gets up to around 50 miles an hour and starts to pull right.
Alignment numbers are spot on. I will post numbers tomorrow when I get the sheet out of car.
What could be the problem? We fixed the toes, camber is off in rear because of the lowering.

Springs are brand new
Sensor didn't need to be reset and I check the tire pressure manually.
And I don't think the dealership would be able to get the job done being that the car has been lowered

I could be totally wrong for thinking this, but my steering seems to pull a little bit whatever way the road is slanted... so most of the time it pulls right. When I am on a road that slants left, it pulls left. Not pulling real hard, but definitely pulling. If I am on a flat road it's straight. I have noticed this slight pull even immediately after alignments.
I believe the pulling is more than I've noticed in other cars, but I only own/drive one car so I have nothing to compare it to regularly. I don't know if the electric steering has something to do with it, but I had never driven a car with electric steering before this one and never noticed this as much. Is it possible the steering is more sensitive/prone to pull a little in this car, possibly because it's electronically assisted?
FWIW, my suspension is completely unmodified.
