Default Lowering Z and Berk exhaust clearance issue?!

ok guys so i really didn't know what category to put this in...exhaust or suspension so im gonna put it in both. (sorry for the confusion) but i have berk exhaust and wanna lower my car soon. im gonna lower to the point where theres no wheel gap and i cant see any tread so slammed pretty much. or really low as i some would say. my question now is berk hangs very low..it hangs like 3 inches from the ground stock ride height...has anybody lowered their z with berk exhaust? i might as well get ark if its gonna be that low lol. but anyways i feel like i would be scraping over the smallest of bumps with berk if i lower it to my liking. anyone have experience with this? i would hate to have to buy a new exhaust jus to lower my car...though i rlly want motordyne its 1800...i aint rich lol . thanks in advance guys

I have Berk exhaust and on Tein springs. I have scrapped twice, both times were on an unusually large speed bump. Other then that I like it aloy.

Subscribing. I am about to consider buying a Berk exhaust and I am lowered on Swifts.

I have a berk exhaust and Cats. My car is pretty low on coils, don't ask me how much because I don't know, but it's pretty low. Exhaust is the first thing besides the front air dam,undertray that will scrape on bumps big driveways. I don't think it really has anything to do with brand of exhaust though, it's just the lowest thing under the car period. I am fine 95% of the time when I am on my 19" wheels, when I throw on my track day 18" wheels though I start to have more problems and have to go painfully slow over the monster speed bumps at work.
