what is your current setting? do you have ride height too low by any chance? maybe you need rigidity refresher plan? if you put your current setting it will help us to help you 
my current settings are
stage 2 turbo
no driving aids
tsm 3
ride height 86/86
spring rate 8.5/11
bound 8/10
rebound 10/8
camber 2.5/5.0
toe 0/0
stabilizers 5/5
LSD 5/40/20
Whenever i accelerate straight line I get rumble on my controller. Very annoying for such a sweet looking ride. If you know anything that might help please let me know before I sell this thing.

I see several things that might affect your car.
Ride height seems like it is too low... the lowest it will go is 85 mm right? 1mm above minimum ride height might cause your car to bottom out evertime you hit a bumpy road. Try 10 mm to 25 mm higher than the lowest height.
Spring rate. Not sure why you have rear spring rate set higher than front. Integra has more weight on the front, so I think you should try 8/6
Bound and Rebound... try 6 to 8 on both front and rear
Camber... 5.0 in the back seems out of place... maybe you mis-typed 0.5? -_-a
The rumble that you get when you accerate can be quite normal on FF cars with big HP... When the car accerates, it shifts its weight to the rear and your front tires are not getting enough traction so it slips, but when the car settles down a bit (after initial acceration) it should be pretty smooth and stable.
Hope these helped

You are just feeling the torque steer, understeer, its like that in real FF cars too, get on with it!
Thanks for your help. I got it to stop for the most part. It still tends to lose traction and rumble coming out corners (especially when using nos) but now it is more managable. Anyone else having this problem dont sink a bunch of money in this car it just turns into a lot of frustration even though the car looks hella sweet in photo mode, it just sucks on the track.

Seems like you might be applying the gas too early coming out of a turn if you are getting rumbles. I tend to drive FF car, FR car, and AWD car all differently (taking different racing line for example), Try a higher bound and rebound rate on the rear than the front... maybe 7 in the front and 8 in the rear. It should help the car turn-in better and may also further reduce the rumble exiting the turn.

try front 7k rear 15k and change ur rear camber to 0-1.. front height to around 90mm, rear 110mm, front stabilizer 2-3. you want softer front to let the car rotate.
Well heres the deal. Loosening the front sprinks and tightening the back makes the handling through the curves much tighter and smoother, but does not at all help the shaking. On the other hand, tightening the front and loosening the rear helps the shaking slightly but makes the car a little loose for my liking causing dramatic oversteer. Its definitely a trade off.....Luckily Ive finished with the One Make Type R challenge, so I wont need to drive the car much more anyway.

Your Acura RSX is too low , try making it higher. I don't see the problem with the spring rate, I think it makes FF cars drive better. What's up with the camber? I would try to go down a little with that. Maybe your suspension is to hard? And it's bouncing? The Bound and Rebound might be the fix.
