Make of coilovers?

Most coilovers will have a small amount of camber adjustment and it also depends how low you've gone.
The camber can normally be adjusted by loosing the two suspension/hub bolts and moving the shock and tighten the nuts back up.
As for the pulling to one side this is usually a side effect of replacing suspension components.

I'd recommend taking your car to get the tracking done.

Its steering because the camber is out and therefore probably the toe.

If they have elongated bolt holes where it meets the hub they are a complete ball ache to set up.

best thing to do with the coilovers with elongated holes is to get it setup correctly and get a couple of washers welded on so they don't move again.
