Question for anyone that has lowered their Fit

Okay I did a slight lower on my '09 to the tune of "1 1/2.

I did a proper job in using the correct springs and struts all the way around and I had to replace the exhaust due to rust from the pervious owner, so I installed a yonaka mild exhaust.

Everything seems to fit properly but I noticed that the exhaust hangs a bit lower than the car and since I put new wheels on it I am finding that will sometimes drag a tiny bit over speed bumps and the like.

Has anyone used different hangers that are shorter or has anyone had to solution for this?

Anything helpful would be welcome as this isn't a huge problem but its kind of annoying.

Thank you!

If you have room to move the exhaust a bit higher, you can use shorter hangers. But be sure to have enough room around, because the exhaust gets hot...

Have you used them before or know which ones to order or from where? This is kinda what I was thinking!

I'va had to replace some on my 00 Civic, which was lowered. Just went to a auto part store and chose a shorter one!
