Thumbs down iratic steering

Hey guys I am new at the forum thing...I was needing a little professional assistance.I have a 98 integra it has 17"X 7" konig tantrums and 215:40 yokahama paradas,and I have a strut tower bar., I used to have air ride cylinders on it ya'll know "front back and side to side"...they kept eating up my tires so I traded a guy for some coilovers that came off a civic....I have had my car aligned and my tires balanced, but my car rides every bump in the road and if there is a crown in the road and I try and switch lanes I almost end up in a ditch.I was just wondering if any body elses car does this when it was lowered" around3 inches?""".If you need any more info that would help you help me figure this out please let me know because it is driving me crazy.THANKS ALOT..........:alien:

whats up man. well im gonna tell you the lower pofile and the wider the tire any crown will pull you any way it so desires. another thing that would make your car swerve from side to side is torque steer. which is when under acceleration your differental is giving more power to one side causing your car to want to pull to the side. i dont know how much power your car has but when mine ran good under full throttle it was just about impossible to keep in 1 lane in low gears. the only way to get around torque steer is get a Limited Slip Differential (type r if you have a B series motor). or something of that sort. well i hope this helped you with your question. later

the other thing...
if you've only got springs or coilovers.. consider upgrading your shocks as well.. sometimes nice spring with stock shocks.. can lead to bounce.. a lot of it.. which would cause ya to steer off..
