I just dropped a gsr motor into my 99 civic hatchback and now the front passnger side is rubbing like crazy when i make a turn. I droped the car with eibach sportline springs and it didnt rub b4 the swap. The driver side isnt have any kinds of problems and driving smooth. I know the gsr motor is heavier then the factory motor but why is only one side rubbing? should i get differernt springs? help!

That is strange because you would think the driver's side would be lower because the engine is heavier than the tranny. The struts have probably had it. Upgrade

blown shocks COULD be it... maybe your springs have just sagged because of the weight difference?! Sounds odd

With sportlines, you shouldn't rub. What size tires are you running?

I just dropped my 92 hatch with gsr swap on the same springs. Ended up rubbing just cuz I had the front lca bent, and it was pushed back. Once I fixed it, no more rubbing

I run a B18B with H&R Sports (almost identical drop) .... and I don't rub.
