Lowering problems

Ok I am going to be lowering my car but I fear for my cat. It sits about 2inches of the ground right now and if I lower it. It will basically have an inch or so. Is there any way to raise the cat higher so I don't tear it off?

Did you put an aftermarket exhaust? I would check all you exhaust connections, you should have at least 5-6 inches. Maybe a clamp is busted or something.

Yes there is an aftermarket 2 1/2 inch exhaust on the car at this time.

I want to lower my car 1 inch but all the company's I see only see 1" to 1.5" , 1" is the rear and 1.5 in the front i suspect. Will the 1.5" make that much of a differance. I roads around here a bumpy but a 1" lower will do fine. I just don't want to push it more then that. Where did you guys get your springs and what did they cost?
