I have just had my car lowered using springs (40mm) and have had a powerflow exhaust put on, the only thing that is bothering me is the fact that each time i go over slight bumps i can hear it moving and just making noise .

Now, i have thought about this and have come to the conclusion its the springs, (DOH) and the ride is too hard so it makes alot of racket.

The thing i want to kno is what exaxtly can i do?

a whole new kit (not an option until next year)
new shocks and dampers??? (not entirely sure on that)
new hangers??

if sum1 could help me out i would greatly appreciate it.

thanks for any help

Ashley are shite, rust to bits

just get some shorter exhaust hanging rubbers

get some ford focus ones, these are shorter and will stop the exhaust bangin on the rear axle

if its stll bangs, then get soem heat resitant padding and gaffer tape it to the rear beam below where the exhaust hits

this is a common problem with lowered corsa's & exhausts
