Default Quick ? regarding Amuse R1 bumper....

Just wondering if the Amuse R1 bumper will sit lower or higher than my current set-up at the moment.. (I'm dropped on Buddy Club Racing Spec coils)

I'm thinking about getting it... Thanks in advance everyone

From what I've seen of the R1 bumper, it lines up nicely with the sides of the OEM sides of the car. I believe it would actually sit a little higher than your setup with the AP2 lip.

^ hes correct. just get an apr lip instead of the r1 bumper. looks similar and it'll just be the lip you're scraping, not the 1000 fiberglass r1 bumper.

It sits about the same height as oem w/lip... but it extends slightly further forward.

I daily drive my amuse R1

Its very beat up , but even beat its a beautiful bumper

Amuse R1 is basically same at Ap2w/ lip maybe a tiny bit higher, but amuse R1 vs AP2 Bumper with apr lip next to each other theres a big difference. Try to find a replica R1 bumper if you want the bumper but are trying to save money

It sits slightly higher, but extends farther forward so when driving up an incline you have about the same clearance...

Here are a couple pics:
