Default Lowered on coilovers and scrapping wheel well

90 accord ex coupe. i lowered it on Function and form Type 1 suspension.

my left front wheel scrapes the wheel well when i go over a road that changes in height. or when i go fast over bumps. i had set the coilovers to the same height and my left side was lower than the right. so i had to raise the left side higher than the right. for whatever reason the left side looked lower than the right.

i still scrape every once in a while even though i have 2 finger gap from the top of the tire to the fender. but its only scraping on the left side why? its been scraping for so long now that the wheel well cover has ripped/broken.. so my tire has been hitting the sharp part of the wheel well wich has been slowly cutting my new falken 912 tire.

is there something that might be worn that will cause the left side to keep doing this? like a bumpstop or ball joint?

Could just be weight. I mean you do have a left hand steering car so between your weight, and how everything is mounted in the engine bay, the weight might be biased on that side so you scrape there more. I didn't think the 4th gens had bumpstops.
