Something people may have not said to try is traction bars, I know it doesnt seem like they would work but my friend's 421hp Integra has almost no tq steer and he has solid mounts, completely slammed, traction bars, and strut bars.
Ladies, wipe the sand from your vaginas and post something useful. If I was a mod I would ban both of you for such douchbaggary.
I guess you don't remember my torque steer thread then... Ok so you want a useful post: All FWD cars have torque steer and there's not much you can do about it. Just don't slam the gas in 1st and 2nd. I heard it's best to roll into the throttle for 1st and 2nd. Then mash the gas for the rest of the gears.

I believe eibach makes them, but i'm also sure there are others that make them as well. You may want to goto the supporting vendors section and check some of them out. I'm sure that at least a few of them sell traction bars.

Alright guys I need you help once again, I did a quick search but didn't really find the answer i'm looking for.
Every since I got the car tuned the torque steer is crazy with the numbers I have, so crazy that it has almost caused me to wreck the car more than once. Its pretty scary when you step on the gas and the car heads for the middle median.
Are there any products out there that help reduce or possibly eliminate torque steer, or does anyone have any idea what might help? I am looking into a 300+whp daily driver and do not want to add anymore power until I solve this problem. What happens if my dad decides to pass a car and the steering wheel gets yanked out of his hand, thats what I'm worried about. I know to expect it but no one else does.
Thanks for your help.

Make sure you're not a messed up road either when you gun it. defects in the road turn your tires. Humps, dips, etc. If your tires are turned at the time of acceleration it amplifies it. Go to a track and drive the car right and I bet you won't have as much torque steer as you're getting on a public road.

I did some more tuning last night and I almost got all of my TQ steer gone it was from low traction I guess I add some TQ management to 1st and 2nd and now it goes as straight as an arrow, with very little tug. I think once I get some better tires I will be good to go.... Its funny becasue it didn't sound like my tires were spining but I guess they were any way I got most of it figured out now .

My 02 maxima would change lanes under WOT in 1st and 2nd if you werent ready, car had no limited slip. My 09 SSTC with LSD is much more civilized, I have never noticed the opposite direction tugging from an LSD maybe i need a tune.

I dont know if this make sense to anyone however, What about seeing what the SRT guys do? Maybe check out their forums. They have front wheel drive also and they usually make alot of power. Just a thought.... And yes I know they arent the same cars as ours.

You're not going to stop it, but you can control it.
It's a like having a flooding river put an area of land underwater once every year. You can't stop it from happening, but you can control it by building a canal to channel the water somewhere else.

Nice metaphor or what ever, not sure about the relationship to the torque steer.
I would say he needs to lift weights and hold the **** on after punching it LOL...

Well, all I can say is my very good friend's Eclipse GST is at roughly 325 WHP.
I go driving with him all the time, and from being in this car on a daily basis, and having drove it; I can honestly say torque steer is a real bitch to control.
You can counter-steer as much as you want but I can assure, that at WOT, you are not going to win.
I guess it depends on how modded you are, but I can definitely say running almost 30 PSI of boost, no way in hell you're going to stop the torque steer.
