Default Brand new shocks/struts Pulls hard to left?!

I just had brand new Koni sport shocks/struts installed. I've had Goldline coils on it since Oct '05. I also had a strut bar put on with the new shocks/struts.

The car's alignment seems great...stearing is in-line with the wheel dead center. My problem is that the car is pulling pretty hard to the LEFT when I let the stearing wheel go! Every time no matter what the road surface is like. It's so bad it will damn near change lanes.

I'm lost???

I figured that was understood...yes it was aligned with shocks/struts/strut bar install.

Did they Set The Caster Correctly?....some hack alignment guys dont take the time to set it because you cant set it in real time you have to make adjustments then re calibrate everything then see where your at then do it again if it isnt right.....they might have just done camber then toe and go.....then id look into tire condition/wear patterns....youd be suprised how much a uneven tire will yank a car thats set correctly

Brake pads are about 6 weeks new.

I'm gonna try swapping the two front tires & see if it pulls RIGHT after that. I got the tires back in Oct of last year.
Thanks
