Hey Ross, ive looked at the roll centre adjuster but wasnt sure if this will eliminate the issue. Thanks for the input! Will look at the J's racing unit...
Ive had two wheel alignments since the transplant.
The wheel alignment places just scratch their heads and dont know how to rectify the situation. Which wheel alignment place can you recommend?
does it go back to the left if you brake?
or does it just go to the right and when u stop accelerating it goes straight but still angled towards the direction it pulled you

I only go to eastcoast suspension. Its on the southside.
Heasmans and Eastcoast are the only places that I would take my car to.
im sure its probably correct if you've taken it in for wheel alignments and checked it over but check that you dont have a directional tyre reversed. My friend had a 4g63 fwd lancer and for whatever reason one of the front tyres which was directional was reversed. It was at the point where it was dangerous as it would do what your saying, wonder around under power and braking but especially on gear changes, was hard to keep in one lane.
Has this only happened recently or has always been there? I'm just wondering if your problem only started to occur when you put the coils in or after you put the bars in etc.
I had a similar problem as you, except it steered to the left slightly under acceleration. When just cruising it runs dead straight. The shock was loose in the shock housing (about 1 degree of play) so the bolts just needed to be tightened up so there was no play in the shock.
Maybe check all the bolts in the shocks are all nice and tight.
Get a tape measure and check the circumferance of both front tyres. If one is "taller" than the other this will cause the problem . "Tyre stagger " is good in some forms of speedway racing where you constantly turn in one direction but a disaster on a road car. I used to race karts (with chain drive and no differential) and it was a very common issue.

fantastic input that no one has suggested.
I also suggest , variable stagger is found with running different PSI in each tyre. This can have the same effect described above. Check your tyre pressure !
Actually with karts we used to grossly overinflate the smaller tyre to "stretch" it up to the required size (then lowered the pressure). I initially avoided making that suggestion here in case somone overdid it and caused the tyre to let go with the potential for serious injury.
