hey guys im currently running super low dobinson springs and my front pipe is about 5mm to low to the ground. the rest of the car is fine. im trying to engineer the car and im worried i will get picked on for it. is there a way i can lift the front of the car up by 5 mm without changing springs etc.

that involves more money when the exhaust was only just made

Then it wasn't made real well. You're getting it engineered, a dodgy fix is going to be found.

you can get suspension spacers on ebay alternately get some lows custom compressed.
