alignment needed?
My car has been lowered with 1" drop springs and I've installed LCARBs, adjustable LCAs, adjustable PHB, and adjustable torque arm. I now notice the car pulling somewhat to the passenger side driving down a straight road. Is it normal to need an alignment after the mods I had done??

Re: alignment needed?
Lowering will slightly change pretty much everything. Don't put it off while it's sucking away mileage and tire life.
If you haven't already, you may want to consider replacing your front steering stuff prior to shelling out $50 or so on an alignment: tie rods, center link and adjuster sleeves. Be like new under there except for ball joints which can be swapped out without requiring re-alignment.
