Default Anyone with 3" exhaust and lowered..5.0

I have mac comp catback and just installed the rear roush springs which are only 1" drop, but the exhaust is rubbing. I adjusted it and only have about .75-1" of space between the front of axle and the bend in the tubing. I will drive it some more tomorrow and see if that cleared it up.

Anyone else with 3" exhaust have this issue? What kind of gap is there in your setup?

I have Magnaflow 3" cat backs and Eibach sportline suspension. I had to have the exhaust modified by the muffler shop to stop the axle from hitting the pipes on every bump.
