Does anybody have a good experience with an intercooler kit that doesnt sag or drop below the OEM kouki bumper? Mine drops below the OEM bumper. Its a little tall for what it is and when i go over a bump or a steep driveway, the first thing i hit.. is the intercooler :( Pics would help too!. Im looking to replace mine asap.

the one on my Car is an ISIS Core. But I made some custom lower brackets so i didnt have to make extra holes in my Lower core support.
I have a build thread in chat called "Project RB" that shows how I made the brackets

I got a huge FMIC from CXRacing on ebay, and it mounted up perfect on my zenki without any mods other than shaving the inside of the bumper cover a little... plus it was super cheap and made very well.

PBM high mount is the way to go, less piping also so you have way faster response. it still shows through the bumper, but only like 3/4 instead of full, which allows more air into your rad so you have both cores getting air cooled instead of one and residue air cooling the other.

^ dude what are you talking about? The PBM high mount sits right underneath the rad support. Its nowhere near as low as the other kits these guys are talking about.
