is the bumper support and such all there, i have an s14 but same concept, there are some little rubber stoppers under the hood you can turn to adjust the hood a little bit, or unbolt it and play with it...

240 right? where the bumper meets the front of the fender, there's 3 holes iirc. make sure you mount that part on both side or it'll keep sagging and bow your fenders out. fixed my friends a while back, that was the problem, it hung about an inch and a half low in the front, f'd his fenders from it.
also make sure the two mounts on the core support are good, they tend to rust and pull away from the support from the top.
other than that, pics would help

That bumper has it's own upper bracket, it's different from the regular pignose and chuki bumpers, without it it does sag just as you show.

we have all four bolts up top (2 on each side close to the headlights) bolted, and we had to force one side to line up via me quarter backing it into place while he put the bolt in lol. not sure whats going on.
