Alignment
I have a 92 civic lowered with h&r sport springs...I just got an alignment, and by the looks of the wheels they look much straighter than before, however, when i'm driving the steering wheel still veers to the right...did i get ripped off or is the wheel supposed to be like this

you can actually SEE that the wheels are straighter after an alignment?? 
anyway try driving on different roads because sometimes even the slightest slant in the road can cause your car to not go straight.
if its ALWAYS pulling right then bring it back and tell them to recheck it. (ie go for a test drive with them)

i got an alignment done, and the same thing happened to me.... apparently something about the camber on one of the front wheels isn't the same as the other, so it veers to the right?!? i donno but it does drive better than before, and they said the only way to fix the front was to get a camber kit which is more $$ so i figured i'd wait until i get new tires next year or so....

When you have more camber on one side than the other it will cause the car to pull to one side. For example if your driver side front is -1.0 degree and your passenger side is -2.0 degrees it will cause your car to pull left. The only way to fix that is with a camber kit.

What are your caster numbers? It's important that the caster is the same on both sides of the car to avoid the tendency to pull to one side. There's so much more to an alignment than just camber... it's a small piece of the puzzle.
