i recently took my car to get the alignment fixed cause a while back i went over a pothole. They said they got the alignment as fixed as possible but they said something is broken and i would have to take it to a collision shop to get it fixed, my question is what could be broken, my car drifts to the right and my steering wheel is always turned to the right a little, i honestly think they didnt do anything to the alignment because its the same as before, by the way i took it to an STS. Also i just purchased frpp B springs and mach 1 shocks and struts, should i get cc plates with them before i go to get the car aligned again.
alignment and suspension question(frpp B springs)

Generally, if you lower more than 1-1.5" you should get the CC plates. I suggest taking it to a collision shop and getting an estimate of what is wrong and how much to fix. When they said "something is broken" did you ask "what is broken?"
I would not suggest installing new parts until you get your current problems corrected.

the crooked steering wheel can be fixed! there is a lot of toe adjustment. the pulling is caused by a caster problem. a set of M/M plates will fix this. any more questions feel free to pm me. i do alignments for a living. i can let you know whats going on with your car

The pulling can be a few things. Cross caster and Cross camber can cause a car to pull.
Say the camber is higher on the left than the right by a good margin the car will pull right.
If the caster is higher on the left than the right it will pull left.
However if the camber is higher on the right and the caster is higher on the left it will pull left. If the caster is great it will always cause the car to pull to that higher side regardless of the camber.
What exactly broke? Info like that is not helping. Does the front end need shims and be re drilled, no more adjustment left in the stock c/c plates(they suck anyways)?
