civic01vtec has a reputation beyond repute

it is called torque steer........but your civic does not have that. Therefore, it is in your head.

Also, no, they would not help with torque steer...only LSD would.

I had the same problem when I first bought my civic... The stock tires etc grip the road and just go in an odd direction. I've since lowered my car and bought wider profile tires/wheels... this helped a lot. Much more control.
