Yeah, don't pay no mind to all the suspension rambling, it's a problem I have. If I remember correctly, you have the Tein Flex with a pretty damn clean EDFC install right? On the street that Flex system works pretty good eh?

P.S. you going to the Evolution meet?

A couple of things...
First the Js Racing Type S front bumper doesnt sit any lower than the Cwest front which isnt that low IMO.
Second, the Mugen SS front bumper is $1955 + $200 for shipping so thats $2000+. Then add on P/P/P which is close to another $600 so right there thats close to $3000. The Amuse R1 is like $1000 + $200 for shipping from your general dealers so thats $1000+ for that bumper plus the same P/P/P. So if money isnt an option, go for the $2000+ front if it is then go for the $1000+ front. Both are very nice IMO and the Amuse looks really close to the OEM front with OEM lip which you may also consider.
Just an FYI too, King has sold maybe 20-30 Mugen SS front bumpers US/Canada wide which IMO is not played out. The new J's Racing Type S front bumpers or entire kits are even less played out at maybe 15 kits US/Canada wide at the moment. Just because you see 3-5 members on this board doesnt mean in the big scheme of things that they are common especially with the high prices of all 3 front bumpers..
In California alone there are maybe 5-8 Mugen SS front bumpers. J's there are maybe 5 or 6 at the moment.
I spoke with King about 1 year ago and at that time there was 16 total in the US so my figures are close to accurate. But I didnt take into consideration the Grey Market...
