just installed springs
 
I just installed my lowering springs on my car tonight. eibach kit. i have full mac exhaust and it seem to bang in the rear of the car before when i hit a bump but now its really bad after lowering it. the exhaust seems to be rubbing around the stock upper control arms. i was wondering if anyone else had this problem and what they did

i've had a simlialr problem, the tail pipe was rubbing on the wheel. The best thing to do is take it to your local exhaust shop or if you have the exuipment do it yourself.

There's very little room on that passengers side back there, more like 1/8" of clearance.

You'll probably have to load the suspension and go under there and see where it's rubbing and play around with the angles.

I had the same problem with a flowmaster catback. All I did was go underneth the car, loosen the clamp on the outlet of the muffler and turn the tailpipe a little fixed it right up

i have bang noises but its because the clamp on the tail pipe came loose and the hump that goes over the axel is tapping the frame rail.

yeah thats what mine is doing and it is sitting up against the ca's. the noise is loud now

I have the same kit on my car. The exhaust rubs a little on the top of the axle when I hit a bump or load 4 people. But as far as i know it doesn't rub at a normal load.
