Kurama Z vs. Greddy vs. Ts Front bumper

Im trying to decide on which to go with, im set on the greddy sides and kenstyle rear just wanted some opinions on what everyone else thinks.

Also i wanted to know if the Kurama z and top secret will be the same height off the ground as the sides and rear...I want entire kit to be relatively even

greddy front/sides w/ kenstyle rear is a very common setup. definitely an aggressive path.

imo, the greddy sides are way too low to flow with the ts front.

g35shawn has the kuruma front w/ greddy sides and a kenstyle rear i believe. flows really well. not as aggressive as the greddy front, but still aggressive.

search g35shawn's pics for the kuruma/greddy/kenstyle setup and balla's pics for the greddy/greddy/kenstyle pics.

I love my greddy front, however i daily drive my car and it is simply a pain in the ***. The bumper sits down very low after you have dropped the car. Yet still i wouldn't drive my car any other way

Kumara is the way to go , flexable and fits real well . Is the Greddy still fiber glass ? Good enough reason to skip that brand .

yeah its fiber glass, but i don't understand why people hate on fiberglass. If you twist your poly bumper too much in anyway the paint is still going to spider and crack. Granted a chunk won't go missing in the poly bumper lol.

I know this is an old thread but thought I'd give my 2 cents since I had the GReddy and now have the Kuruma Z. GReddywas way low scraping on everything and that's is on 20" wheels, it is a little lighter then the Kuruma Z since they use such a thick urethane plastic. The minus about the Kuruma Z is they use a porus plastic so the shop I took it to had to repaint the bumper so many times and where the sides meet up to the fender don't mate so well looking a little crooked. Also they state a direct bolt on but that's not totally true, you or shop will need to drill the holes for mounting and where the grill mounts as well as the side markders. It is a nice looking bumper though. I guess most aftermarket bumpers are never perfect as the OEM.
