Kuruma z bumper too loW?

Just wondering how many of you guys scrap your Kuruma Z bumpers.
I barely have my car dropped on revised 350z springs and i seem
to be having a hard time driving around. Going into shopping areas,
gas stations, and homes seem too be such a hassle. Im only ranting
because i just scruffed the paint from the bottom just driving off
from a gas station. I mean dont think I that I dont LOVE this bumper.
I smile every day looking at it.. But its just a pain..

i thought the Greddy was the only one to sit a lot lower than stock. Everything else is pretty close to stock height, so i've heard.

Kuruma Z Bumper........."Love it!"

I got my G back from the paint shop yesterday with the new Kuruma Z bumper. I'll probably spend the remainder of this week cleaning up after
the install......the body shop guys washed it for me.....don't do me any favors.
I think the painter and his buddy took a break in my G with their overalls on.
Spent an hour this AM cleaning the interior......Oh well, I love the way the
front end looks now.....aggresive. Thanks for the heads up about driveways
I already figured that out when I saw how low the bumper is. Can't wait to
test it on speed bumps or not!

I don't think it's just the height, I think the Kuruma sticks out a little more too... makes it harder to go up an incline without scraping.

I scrape everywhere..but I don't care. That's the joy of owning an aftermarket bumper. I'll try to get some pics for you guys tonight....ground clearance of the Kuruma bumper with Tein 350Z H-tech springs.
