i just got a b16a swap for my 92 civic hb now when i turn the wheel all the way it rubs. It didn't before the engine swap. Also there is all these weird noises coming from my chassis and suspension that wasn't there before the swap any help would be much appreciated

well, i got ground control coilovers and tokico blues, i raised the car accordingly after the engine swap, i think it might be worn out bushings, cause my car is almost ten years old now. So, i'm going to get energy suspension urethane bushings for my whole car. Anyone have these on there cars please tell me how they are thanks

If they are too soft, you will get more sag, and more bottoming out. , i think it might be worn out bushings, cause my car is almost ten years old now.

You will be getting some aditional chassis vibration, and noise, but then again, who the HELL cares about NVH in a race car?

yup, who cares about the car being loud and bumpy, if i cared it would still be stock right now, the only thing that matters is performance!!! i'm planning on getting the bushings along with a strut bar for the front and a anti sway bar for the back, have any suggestions on which brand i should get? don't tell me dc sports cause everyone has it and i don't think it's all that great....
