Default Axle rubing wishbone with a H22 in civic?

ok guys i got a question. I was thinking about buying a 93 civic hatch with a H22 in it. The only thing that is really holding me back is, it has Raxle axles in it and when you take a right hand turn hard the axle will rub against the wishbone! The car is lowered with skunk 2 coil overs so he raised the car a little bit but it still rubs, and i want to lower a little bit more anyway. So do they make aftermarket wishbones that have any kinda of releaf in it.

Oh and i don't want to put hasport axles in it, because he already had them in and broke them the first time it was at the track.
Thanks

axles have nothing to do with your situation. i really don't know what size rims are on there, but they might be alittle too wide. and definantely raise the car. that is the reason really why they are rubbing.

you can raise it avoid this problem, or just grind down the fender to clear the upper a-arm.

No, it is the wishbone rubing against the axle. It had hasport stage 1 axles in it and was slammed alot, but he broke the hasport and put in a Raxle. The raxle was wider then the hasport and now rubing. Right now the car is not low what so ever. It is almost sitting at stock height. So would it be ok to cut a little bit out of the wishbone, or do they make aftermarket wishbones?

I had the same problem but my car had stock axles in it and i never broke not one of them. All i did was let it rub until the wishbone grinded enough to where the axle wasnt rubbing anymore. Im taking a wild guess a saying that it is prolly the way the motor sits in the car which is making it rub like that.

I had skunk2 springs on my stock struts, then the struts went out on me when i put that motor in so i put some kyb gr2. I had integra SE 6spoke alloys on it with a 205/55/15 tire and ran a 225/50/14 drag radials. Them two setups never gave me problems.

Not sure if that helped any, but thats just my experience and 2 cents. Good luck with your problem
