Default Scraping

1994 Honda Civic CX
B18C1 swap
JDM DC 4-2-1 header
dropped on Tokico Illuminas/Ground Control (3-4 inches off the ground)
No PS/AC

First off, I realize that the car is too low and I'm going to raise it this weekend 3/4" all around. When I take right hand turns at full lock I don't scrape at all but when I take left hand turns 1/2-3/4 lock I hear scraping as I'm going through the turn. This problem just recently started today. The header primaries are dented in because of scraping too much from the previous owner. My question is why has this just started to happen? I'm almost 100% positive that it's the header scraping going through the turn but I'm curious as to why it just started happening and if raising the car 3/4" will completely solve this as I'm fed up with it and bottom out over speedbumps, potholes, etc.

Thanks in advance,
Tom
