Never heard of that happening, but you could mod the exhaust hangers to try to raise it up enough to clear the lca.

mines been dropped for 9 years, it was the first thing i did when i got the car in 2000 but the exhaust i made at the shop didn't interfere with the stock lca's i guess it's because they weren't as think as the blox lca's..i'll get it fixed this weekend.

i had this problem but it was actually hitting my swaybar. all i did was go to autozone and buy a new exhaust hanger that was smaller and pulled it up tighter. it was a really big stretch but it fits realllllly tight and i have no problems anymore. I have the ws2 btw

Switch back to OEM LCAs, Blox ones sucks. I don't even have 3000 miles on mine and the bushings are already showing signs of deterioration. And yes, I clocked them when I put them on.

i destroyed the bushings in the stock lca when i did my rear disc conversion. and don't feel like messing with it again. i've had mine in for about 2 weeks. and you can change out the bushings on the blox lca's they have set screws on the top (in case you didn't see that) so if and when the bushings go bad i'll put different ones in there. i got it covered.
