Bumpsteer kit needed?

I installed the steeda ultralite springs, used an adjustable panhard bar to get the rear centered and took the car in for an alignment. Shop got the car within spec no problems, didn't even need the camber bolts or plates, but she pulls to the left now. The pull is pretty bad, I can't really take my hands off the wheel for more than a second or 2. I took the car back in to the shop and it is still within spec, I have seen both printouts. Along with the spings I installed the Steeda ultra lite wheels 18x9.5 with 275-40-18 tires all the way around.

Would an aftermarket bumpsteer kit help this? Honestly I am not sure what it does so I dont want to waste my money if it wouldn't help something like this. If not, any other tips on getting this fixed?

I am rather new to modding up Mustangs, but man, now that I have the fever, I can't quit

Thanks for any tips!

I had Eibach Pro-Kit springs in my '96 and did not install a bump steer kit. My experience was that the first shop I took it to for an alignment did not do a very good job, although they said it was in spec. Maybe it was in spec. for the stock ride height. I found a good shop that did an excellent job of setting the car up, and it was good for years. In fact, it still is good. My son-in-law has the car now.

What I'm suggesting is that you might want to get another opinion from an alignment shop that has experience with lowered cars.
