Back box on the trailing arm or rear beam?

Look for the clean bit?

the distance between the exhaust and the rear axle is slightly too small on corsas. My car is standard ride height and it does it all the time. so does my grans which is also standrd heght . if theres any play in your exhaust at all it clangs and clunks over bumps, and i suppose harder suspension might have the same effect??!!??
try tightening up the brackets that hold your exaust on. might work?

Mine clunks occasionally, not the exhaust as far as I can see - I just guessed it was the offshoot of poo springs and std shocks...

Did you fit the springs yourself? I fitted a set of 40mm springs but they wernt quite sat right in the lip they should sit in. Just needed twisting in properly and the clunking noise was cured

I've lost count of how many ppl I've told to do this...

1. Loosen exhaust clamp over axle
2. Grab backbox and twist anticlockwise to increase the distance between axle and exhaust - the angles the pipe comes outta the bb is what makes this work
3. Hold the bb in that position whilst you tighten the clamp up again.

Job done.
