Default Mugen Front lip lower than OEM?

I test fitted my airwalker sides today with my OEM front lip(AP2) and quickly realized that I need a lower front bumper. Does the Mugen lip sit lower then the OEM lip? I need to do something to the front.

thanks!

i believe the stock lip is about an inch lower, and so is the mugen.

dam! you sure. i remember reading on hardtop guy i think that the factory lip dropped the front end about 1 inch. i'll go check it again, it's been a while since.

I was test fitting my mugen lip and that thing sits real low I would guess the 1-1.5 is about right especially at the sides

I currently have the stock lip, I think .5-1" sounds about right. Can anyone verify the Mugen does sit lower? If it does, that'd go great with the low airwalker sides!

I found these shots...

mugen lip is definitely lower than the oem lip. my friend has had both the j's type s front bumper and the mugen front lip, and tells me the mugen sits much lower. good luck
