Well the car pulling to one side on straights is likely the result of a street alignment. Many places compensate for the crown in the road, there to aid water runoff, so the car will straight line properly. If the road isn't crowned, the car will vere to one side.

Leaning more in curves isn't likely to be alignment related. Body lean is mostly a factor of springs and sway bars. It's likely your imagination.

The Boxster is very sensitive to alignment and so I personally would get my alignment at a race prep shop. I realize this isn't an option for many living in rural areas, but if you have such a shop in your area, it's a good place to go.

Cheers!
