Default Lowered with spools

I lowered my 99 gsxr 750 3" and now the spike spool on the right side hits the can. There is very little play. When I sit on the bike, the can hits the spool. What are your suggestions???? I am going to try to stiffen the shock, or I may have to lift it 1".

jump up and down on the bike until the spool has made a nice concave in the pipe. Then it wont bump up against it.
