W126 300SEL pulls to the left before and after alignment

The car is fairly new to me and I'm still working out the bugs. New wheels and tires, new shocks, and now I had it aligned. Here is the spec sheet.
Here are paraphrased comments from the alignment tech:

"The springs are sagging especially the ones in the back therefore you have to compensate the settings a little to adjust for the shorter springs"
"the rear camber cannot be adjusted without shims but they don't use them anymore"

The car tracks straight if I hold the wheel straight but drifts left if I let go of the steering wheel. It drifts more if I apply the brakes. I have tried this on roads where the road crowns to the left, middle and to the right.

Any thoughts?
