Has anyone else had the problem of the exhausting hitting the rear suspension beam as it bends over the top??

I have mine lowered 60mm at the moment and it hits over larger bumps. Shocks are set quite stiff, but there isn't much clearance.

I am going to have to get a new exhaust made to clear it as I want to lower a bit more.

Just wondered if anyone had the same problem and what they did?

Cheers

Sometimes the exhaust can twist causing it to bank/knock on the rear beam, has done it on both my corsa's but really easy to sort cost me a fiver at the local garage for them to twist it back and put on a new U-bracket.

Yup, took mine to the local garage just last week for the knocking (and a couple of other things), said it was the bracket on the exhaust simply tapping, said he'd twisted it so it wouldn't knock, it doesn't, sorted.
