Am I likey to have problems with my tracknig being out all over again, car pulling to the left like it has a gay attraction to kerbs/the hard shoulder?

Up to -40mm Eibach springs on my standard Ibiza shocks?

once its tracked up it will be fine. Just take it to a decent tyre place once its done. Usually about £20


PS Ebaich springs are where its at good choice
