bumper clearance question

[sampsonmx3]

My car is lowered two inchs and i busted my GS lip. Does anyone know if the Corksport bumper sits lower or the same height as the GS lip. Any feedback would be welllll appreciated. My car hates being cable-tied up at the front bumper.

My car is lowered approximately 2". The corksport bumper should be ok with it that low, its about the same height as stock.<p>I just received my Erebuni front bumper (same style as Corksport) and it is about the same height which is good.<p>If you are lowered 2" or more bumpers like the Pakfeifer, Gforce and Onderground will NOT be good because they are too low.<p>I had originally bought the Pakfeifer bumper but the front clearance was too low and not practical to drive around with.

iirc... the mazdaspeed style bumpers reach further forward while being the same height. If it is further forward wouldn't it make you scrap more?

Are combat bumpers lower than stock?

I was able to drive around for one day with it but I scrapped it a few times on easy slants, you have to be extremely careful, if it were only 1 inch higher that would have made all the difference in the world.<p>I haven't installed my Erebuni(mazdaspeed style) yet but it looks about stock height which should be fine for me.

I think one of the main problems is that most of these body kit companies seem to design the bumpers with stock height cars not taking into consideration that most or a fairly good percentage of people will be using them on lowered cars.

i know my gforce bumper is always hiting the ground and i am not lowered, if i was the bumper will definitely be destroyed.
