Default traction problems, what could I do to control the frontend better for my civic feels loose or it mig

I swapped a gsr into a hatch, but it feels like when I get on it, it almost looses control like the front end is loose, I just want to stiffen the front up so I can keep it straight when I get on it......

Wider tires, or learn to drive within the limits of your car.

Does it pull to one side, both sides? Does it hop?

Stiffer springs will help immensly, stiffer springs in the rear will help stop the weight transfer you get when you floor it, keeping more weight over your front tires giving you more control, If you care to pony up the money, Traction bars work wonders for straight line traction as well, otherwise you are just enjoying the thrills of tourqe steer, isnt FWD fun? ^^

Good suspension, lsd, traction bar, better tires, wider tires, not launching at 9 billion rpms like every other rice-hat, Warming your tires before launch, get an alignment.

Pick one.
