Im posting this problem for a friend,
he has a 1995 Civic hatch with a B18GSR Built boosting 35psi and is using an LS tranny with gsr spindles. He built the car a while ago and never had issues, all of a sudden his passenger side axel is coming up short.

"When you tighten the large nut on axle, it starts stretching the axle out and you can see the boot stretch"

He explained the issue to me at school, I thought you guys might have suggestions. I'm trying to get him to join his cars sick

Take a picture, it sounds like he's using the wrong axle or maybe something is binded up in the suspension.

I'll ask him to take a few pics, he said he tried every b series axle and same issue. But he also mentioned that when he lifts the spindle off the lower control arm balljoint and brings the spindle to the axle it looks fine, but when he returns the spindle to position on the balljoint it looks to be out 1"

That sounds nuts, I know

maybe trying stock civic cpindles to see if it makes up the difference?

He also was using a GSR tranny... broke it.
And is now using an LS tranny with GSR differential. could that lead us somewhere?

Nope. All '90 - '01 Integra/'94 - '97 Del Sol VTEC/'99 - '00 Civic Si use the same passenger's side axles. Either it's a bad aftermarket axle (sometimes they're just legitimately too short for whatever reason) or something is bent.
