Take a look at your tire and wheel arch covers. It sounds like the car is too low the tires is touching the guard.

Hey buddy, like DakDark said, do you know how much of a drop you have? Also what is the specs of your wheels and tires.

But if that was the case wouldn't it be for both sides

Could we get a pic, specs of the wheels [17" X *.* Offset], tyre size and if you know the drop in height from factory would help too.

Theortically it should BUT don't forget, there will be naturally more weight on driver side cause there is the driver to consider ;)

It could also do with your alignment, 17s are a little oversized for EKs imo.

Have you had it aligned after you put the springs in

Check the plastic lining on top of the wheel arch adjoining to the guard, theres a few tabs there that you can push back to get some clearance that usually helps
