Torque Steer Question? 850

I own a 1996 850R that has a surprising amount of torque steer. Is this normal? The alignment was just done and the car has new shocks F/R (Bilstein TC's) along with new spring seats/bushings. The car seems very touchy on "crowned" roads/uneven pavement. When I really get on it (passing on the highway), it can be a real handfull if the road is not perfectly smooth.

The car has 75K with factory 16inch wheels and Dunlop Sport W10's (about half worn) Any ideas?

Thanks,

-Brad.
