No I have a different rear suspension. It can be adjusted up and down like you would do with coil overs.
You'd have to raise your car up, or use oval pipe under the drivers side or both.

It came from numerous people in various threads in the suspension section of this site that I've read over the years. With 3 inches I'm able to get into my driveway at an angle. Anything less than 3 and I scrape. It's very rare that someone who is lowered is fitting a pop can under their exhaust.
And just remember whatever clearance you have will be less with you in the car. So depending on the number of people in the car and the total weight, your 3" might be more like 2.5" or whatever

Kind of an old thread, but I can’t even get a can laying on its side under the lowest point of my exhaust, which is somewhere along the driver’s side of the y-pipe.

I performed the test. Lying on its side, I could barely get it under the lowest point on the driver's side. I've been daily driving it this way for 12+ years. Speed bumps can be tough, but other than that, no issues.

This thread caught my interest, and as I had a freshly emptied beer can handy I performed the test. Lying on its side, I could barely get it under the lowest point on the driver's side.
