Car pulling under acceleration

About 2 or so months ago I installed BC racing coilovers, rear LCA's new wheels (Enkie rpf1's 17x9 +35) and tyres (Bridgestone re003) all at the same time. Ever since the install I've had a constant problem where the car has been pulling left under acceleration, to the point where I can change lanes just by accelerating. Yet tracks perfectly straight just cruising. Had the suspension aligned and checked twice by one of the better shops around so I've sort of ruled that out for now. About a week ago I swapped the rear wheels around and it starting pulling to the right rather than the left. Pressures were all equal, wheels are of the same offset, But the direction of pull changes just by swapping the rear wheels around. Bare in mind, only under acceleration. Took it back to the joint where I had the tyres installed hoping there would be a fault with one of the tyres but they said the tyres were fine. As a last attempt I swapped the front and rear wheels around hoping it would fix it but it is now pulling to the left again. Has anybody experienced anything like this before? Tempted to just buy new tyres, but I don't feel like throwing $1300 worth of tyres away. Any advice form someone more mechanically minded than myself would be much appreciated. Cheers in advance
