Default car shifts under acceleration

hey guys, I have a 93 civic hatchback vx. I recently installed a front omni camber kit and got an alignment. now, every time I accelerate (on the interstate at about 55-60 mph) the car tries to shift to the left and as soon as I let off the gas it'll shift back to the right. it's a pretty scary scenario and I was wondering if I could get some of your input on this. as far as suspension mods I have...tein ss coilovers, front and rear sway bars, front omni camber kit (as mentioned), and front and rear sway bars. thanks guys...

I've noticed on a lot of hondas. It only seems to happen to cars that have noticeable camber. That doesn't really help you but that's all I know.

Mine does that too, and its ******* annoying. But I need an alignment badly.

Sounds like a loose suspension components. Check all the bolts.

I have three Hondas, highly modified suspensions, and none of them have this problem.

check the bolts on the camber kit to make sure they are all tight on
