Prior to some suspension mods at 15,000km, my Euro never drifted to the right or left. The mods I did were to replace the rear sway bar with a stiffer bar and replace all dampers with Konis. No alteration of ride height; that's just being an idiot asking for problems on a car without adjustable camber.
Then after these mods, I had a wheel alignment done and then the car could not stay in the lane for any more than 3 seconds. I spat the dummy and got another wheel alignment done elsewhere. Hey presto! The car now tracks wonderfully and will stay in the lane for a good 5 or 6 seconds. 18,000km on the clock now.
The good wheel alignment I had done was -
Front Toe 0mm Left and Right
Rear Toe Left: 2mm In, Right: 2mm In.
Note that the camber is not adjustable. Interesting though that my front camber is roughly 0 degrees but the Left Rear is -2 degrees while the Right Rear is -1 degrees. I suppose this helps with the camber of our roads? Not sure.
Hope that helps but I suspect that most people having problems here just need a decent wheel alignment. If you've driven a long distance tolerating a strong pull to the right, then I would replace all 4 tyres, and then get a decent wheel alignment done. Don't bother waiting for Honda to fix this for you, either do it yourself or put up with it.
Note that I am still using the original RE040s and have never had the subframe adjusted.
