Ark Grip V2 Scrapping issues?

does anyone have the ark grip v2's and scrape on lowering springs/coilovers?

Im not lowered but the exhaust sits very low already. I dont have the balls to lower my car. Especially considering where i live. Horrible roads. Ever since i put my exhaust on though, i hear a noise that sounds like my exhaust is hitting some where underneath my car. I already put washers on my body brace to help clear it so i dont know what it is now.

Yes, I'm on Swift springs and I scraped a canister on a speedbump (I'm assuming). But other than that, no scraping.

It really depends on how much you lower the car, some have reported issues scraping over steep driveways and speed bumps and some have reported no issues at all.

@fearlessZ what is the noise that is coming from the car?

Sounds something like if my trunk wasnt shut all the way, only when the car is under load and only when i hit a hard enough bump, sometimes. But its underneath my car. When it does it, i can feel it through my shift knob pretty hard when i have my hand on it. I already sent it to Nissan, we figured it was these bolts that were too long underneath this red stabilizer bar, it looked like that was the problem. So i got the bolts cut to where they wouldnt hit and i still keep getting this knocking sound as if something is just very loose. My Ark exhaust is very very stiff. So im really lost at what it could be.
