Default vibration and torque steer????

got an 88 crx with a sohc vtec si tranny it runs fine but im gettin this vibration under moderate to heavy acceleration. It doesnt do it to bad until second gear and then from then on it does it. I cant figure it out im gonna balance my tires this weekend and get 2 new ones and hopefully that fixes it. I also get really bad torque steer and when i at high rpms in just about any gear when i put the clutch in it will swerve. I have to really be on the wheel so i dont swerve too much its like torque steer when i decelerating and accelerating i cant figure it out any help is greatly appreciated

it is lowered on heated springs by previous owner and it hasnt been aligned by me so prolly not lately it didnt start doin this till recently i was on 15 inch ep wheels and it never shook like this when i put my da wheels on it almost immediatley started doin this that is why im leaning torwards the wheels but i dont think it can be aligned becasue of the heated springs and such

lowered cars can still be aligned.

Heating springs to lower a car

what size DA wheels? smaller or larger overall (guessing smaller)?

I'm sure some of the vibration would be caused by the wheels/tires not being balanced. The rest of it sounds like suspension/alignment issues.
