After coilover install, exhaust taking a beating - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

After I installed my coilovers the exhaust has been beating against the back of the car pretty hard. I want to fix or lessen the damage as much as possible. Im sure I'm not the first person with this problem considering half of the board has coilovers. What did you all do to fix this issue?

adjust your dampening to a little more to the hard side if you can to stop it. must adjust your dampening when you first put them on.

don't worry about ordering nismo or some other crap

there are perfectly fine harder rubber exhaust hangers at your local advance auto/oreilys/autozone etc

If you're really cheap like most 240 owners, just wrap a large ziptie around your OE hangers and cinch it tight.
