When i very first got the car I wasn't ready for the torque steer. Now I just anticipate the pull and hold on and I just go in a straight line.

This car has barely any torque steer. My old '86 Shelby Charger (bigger turbo, 18 psi, 3 inch exhaust, computer) would rip the steering wheel out of your hands.

They align the axles to the wheels. Balt's were built with axles aligned for an automatic trans. With a manual trans they are about 17 degrees out. The Stage 1 mount corrects this.

= Less Wheel hop and less Torque steer.

Yea, just hold on tight is all you can do. I have the lsd and rotated poly mounts and still experience stupid torque steer in 3rd and 4th. It wiggles a lil but I just fight it and keep it in my lane.
