I say function over fashion, dump the Kouki bumper and go with the shocks and springs, that's a bargoon, I thought the shocks alone were that much(when luck comes our way).

You can always pull the re-bar out of your OE bumper and rig up some rinky dink brackets to hold the plastic in-place if you want the weight savings of the lighter Kouki bumper.

Get the springs! Great deal. That bumper can wait. Bumpers won't make your car handle better. I'm one to believe that esthetics comes in second place.

get teh bumper!

you can alwasy source other suspension parts in , but a kouki bumper is hard to come by around here..

plus i think the 3 inch drop will give you too many headaches with rubbing and all that (IMO)

plus i hae a little secret about teh brackets hehehehehe..

actually screw that, i want the bumper! get the suspension!
