Default got alignment and now have a lot more torque steer

1995 civic ex
suspension- eibach pro kit with tokico blue's
blox camber kit front and rear.
blox rear lower control arm.

so i went and got an alignment b/c a was having some camber wear on my tires.. and after the alignment i have a lot more torque steer in 1nd,2nd gear under hard acceleration..

i would say that the wheel goes about 1/4 turn to the left under the hard acceleration.

motor is a built d16 165whp...

is this normal or should i bring it back..

i lost the paper they gave me.. but i notices that the torque mounts on my car are collapsed so i think that is part of the problem now...

Assuming they got it 0 toe and camber -1 or -2 in front then its probably due to unequal length axles, tire wear, and the fact that youre built.

you mean lower engine mounts? this can be a problem

an LSD in the transmission will cure the pull to the right when you gas it. if it pulls to the left either the wheel isn't centered, you have slop in the tie rods or it's toe'd out favoring the left side
