Default my IS keeps going to the right side

Hi, my car is keeps going to the right side, i did 2 time alignment check already, but it still going to the right. do you guys know why is that, will it this because of my car dropped with tein tech-S, but not long time ago tho. please help.
also (just sometime) i feel my car is shaking after it going up to 40+...so i did the tires balance but it still happaning. anyone know why?.. is it because i have an AWD and im using the staggered wheel with not same diameter tires?
please help again.thanks!

uhhh can you post your wheel size .. exactly what it says on your tire.. like 225/40/17 for both front and back..

also where did you get tein s-tech put on? second i heard they are the worst springs you can get... get the tanebe their the best IMO or get f-sport for keeping warranty. i have f-sport.. no go right, no go left.. just go where i want go

How long it been since you got it put on?

hi my wheel size is 19"8.5 for the front and 19"9.5 for the rear. tires size are 225/35/19 and 255/35/19, i know their diameter are not close enough but i think im going to wear it out then get the right size of tires.
i did the tein S-tech in some shop call Speed Factory in CA..and i did some research that actually alot of people are using, therefore i go for that one, i thought tein is good -____- and....F-sport is not low enough for me.. i think...
i have them on at July 16..

from what i read around the forums.. i dont think its good to be running a staggard set rims on an AWD... i dotn now why but thats just what i know u should look into it. i mean performance cars like EVO's and STI's are AWD and they dont run staggard rims.

check the gaps between each wheel and fender. your car could be uneven do to use of lowering springs. like ur front right could be lower than ur front left.

i didnt know it when i got those rims =___=..now im very regret,however staggard wheel goods much nicer
ok..so if yes, it's uneven, what can i do?..i only got it for like 2 months....and i don't think i can return it or exchange it..because i special order even i knew it might not fit. said by the shop, therefore anything happen....they will not do anything about it....

are the tires brand new and wore together evenly? were the tires on the car before the drop? usually tires wear out in a pattern then when you alter the pattern (i.e. when you lower the car) it will take time to get a new wear pattern. hope that makes sense.

i dropped my car first....then a brand new rims and tires...i asked them about why is my car going to right, and at first..they said because the springs need time to break out and after that i need an alignment check , and now it has been 2 months already and i 2 times alignment check already, however it still happening.
