Pretty basic question, but cant seem to find an answer on the forum or google.
I have a "custom" radiator set for my swap and it sits about 1.5-2" lower than the bottom of my front bumper.
Im trying to find out if I need to ditch the radiator or if getting a bumper (which I plan to do eventually once drivability is fixed) will solve it.

So, can anyone give a guesstimate as to how much, if at all, an aftermarket bumper sits?

More interested in 99Spec or


any help is appreciated.

 

Does your car have an R1 lip? My custom v-mount hangs low too and the R1 lip covers it up.

Be careful about lowering the car with the new radiator setup.

 

Oh sorry, letting you know what I have would obviously help haha.
I just have a regular stock 94 front bumper. no lip, nothing.

Yeah, Ive kind of come to terms with the fact that I wont be able to lower it until I figure that radiator out.
But lowering the car is WAAAAY down the list. I just barely got it running after the swap, so Id like to just drive it this year haha.

SO I may just try a lip then. Thanks!

 

R1 lips are still available new. Search for part number FD03519H0 or call Ray Crowe and ask for an R1 lip.

 

Im looking at these lips... they dont look to be very thick in the center.
I need something thats almost 2" lower than stock bumper.

 

I have the Sanai Works kit on my car and it definitely sits lower than the stock bumper. I'm not sure how much however.
