I drove some early Saab 900's and they had a lot of torque steer; especially the turbos... I can deal with it, but I know that some front wheel drive setups are quite neutral.

The rear suspension, though will likely have to be custom. Though I should look at the Honda Prelude with the active rear "steering" as that would have less turning scrub, I think?
Is making your own less expensive than installing the system in the Acura RLX?

Hey, the Prelude 4WS was my dream for many years. It does not have the best reputation, though.
