Default 2000 jdm itr swap into 95 ej. have wobbles

very fustrated. Just got my dream swap done and Ive noticed some wierd things happing. The car is a 95 civic 2dr. I have gsr rear disc conversion. Bilsten&nuespeed spring combo and 205-50-15. My car DOES NOT HANDLE GOOD. The car was driving really good before swap!! And when I accelerate it feels like something is wobbling around possibly the motor. The axles from 95. they dont click(could it be the axles) And when I down shift into 2nd it feels weird. When on the high way driving in 5th and I punch 3rd it wobbles and feels very unstable when pushing to redline so ive never really pushed it. DID i GET A BAD INSTALLATION. Inline-pro in va

pretty sure, but I didnt do swap myself. It doesnt feel right at all. The car doesnt drive the same. It was feeling really nice before the swap!! Thats why I think it has something to do with the motor or axles.

a shop did the swap for u? i would take it back. have them find the problem and fix it.

i think this is the first i've heard about b18 into civic wobbling. this is like one of the easiest swaps out there.... and especially for a shop, they shouldnt have any problems like this at all.

why would u need aftermarket mount?? It wobbles and feels unstable. I feel like I cant trust my own car. One thing is for sure is that this problem started after I got the swap done!!!!!
