Aftermarket front bumper sizes

Can you please post the heights of your front bumper, both side and front if they are different? This is a picture of my authentic Greddy Gracer front bumper. On the side it is 19 inches from the top to the bottom. This bumper is also completely level on the bottom, unlike the stock bumper which is slightly higher in the front then the sides. I am curious to see the different sizes of these bumpers since it may give people a better prospective of what they are getting into. The Greddy is my favorite bang for the buck, but once I put it on my car with my setup (Tein S -1.2) as you can tell it is rather low to the ground, less than 2.75 inches. Anyways, I would appreciate if other aftermarket bumper owners would post pics and descriptions of where they measured from.

Yeah it actually looks bad in the pic, that is from the day I put it on. The car was filthy at the time giving the appearance of different shades of white with a brand new and waxed bumper, and I'm pretty sure I wasn't even done putting all the clips/screws back in. Believe me it does match and fit perfectly.

Alright people, lets see some numbers.

Same here, I change my Greddy bumper because is too low after the Tein Flex. And now I am going to Nismo front bumper. I do think Greddy is the best but seriously is too low unless I have a 19" or maybe just the road condition damn suck here at toronto.

Car is at the bodyshop, so I can't measure right away...

...but the NISMO bumper definately looks lower. Some of it is due to the uniform height all the way around (instead of the OEM bumper's raised middle/front section), but it's still obviously lower all around. I've been planning on staying at the stock ride-height to avoid clearance issues. After seeing the NISMO bumper mounted, I'm pretty certain I'll avoid even a 1" drop.

I'm not going to put the measurements on the pic, but I did measure from the same locations you did above.

NISMO front bumper height: 18"

Ground Clearance (stock suspension): 5.5" - 6"

Man! I badly wish this thread went somewhere back in the day. This is exactly the information I need now to decide what replacement bumper will not create clearance issues.
