Exhaust pipe clearance with lowered cars....need help!

I want/need a 3" exhaust system for my car. With the new mods that are installed I would benefit greatly from a 3" system. But my car is lowered with Eibach Sportline springs. Does anyone know if there is a clearance issue with a 3" system when your car is lowered. I know that it is a nice fit when you install a 2.5" cat-back and I have had no problems thus far, but not sure with a 3". Has anyone ever experienced or heard of problems with a lowered car and a 3" cat-back?? Thanks.

It will fit fine on a lowered car...I have a 3" on my car lowered with Hotchkis..only an inch but not a problem.Many here have their cars lowered more and still have no problems.You will be OK.
