Car pulls to the right

I purposely waited a while before purchasing new wheels and lowering the car. I'm usually not an early adopter.

Having said that, after lowering the car similar to many of you, the car seems to pull right. There's a vibration at 75mph. The wheels were not balanced on a Hunter Roadforce machine. KW lowering springs in front and adjustable rear links in the back. Brand new 19" wheels from Vorsteiner.

Anyone go through this before? Am I to settle with the pull to the right?

How long since you installed the springs? Put several hundred miles on them and then get a alignment. Also, get all 4 wheels rebalanced with the road force balancer. It's the only way to go in my opinion.

Springs were installed 2 weeks ago. haven't driven more than 100 miles since then. An alignment was supposedly done. Looks like they adjusted the Front Toe to 0

Caster: Left 8.7, Right 8.6

Font Camber: Left -1.9, Right -2.0
Front Toe: Left 0, Right 0

Rear Camber: Left -3.0, Right -2.6
Rear Toe: Left .05, Right .05

Will drive a few hundred miles as suggested to let springs settle a bit.

I guess this issue on the E class AMG are still the same for the W212. My car does the exact same. But, its ever so slight pull. So, do many others. I hardly ever notice it unless I let go of the wheel for extended time on a the fwy or something.

I just learned to deal with it. If you get it fixed let us know! GL
