You probably need to raise the rear up . At static ride height, are the LCA's parallel with the ground? Or do they actually slope upwards? If so, that is bad.

Downward from the chassis out to the hub, or from the hub to the chassis?

How odd, then. Even with my old DB8 with a 2.5" exhaust, our LCA's and coilovers, I never had issues with the exhaust hitting the LCA.

Maybe the other guy is right, check your exhaust hangars. Or maybe something is bent really badly>
