Hi all! New S15 owner here! 
I just purchased my car two months ago, and last week someone has already backed into my car in a parking lot and damaged my front bumper...
This was both a curse and a blessing, because the driveway to my house is too steep for my car, since I scrape the bottom of my front bumper on the entry to my house no matter what angle I take it. I could raise the ride height of my car.... but if I do that, there will be too much clearance between the fenders and the wheels.
I'm going to get a new front bumper (the other driver's insurance is paying for it), so I need something similar in price to my current front bumper (Vertex), but that has a higher ground clearance.
I was looking through these two lists of bumpers:

http://m-racingfan.info/silvia-aero.html
and it looks like either the IMPUL or Nismo bumpers will offer better clearance than the Vertex I have. I want the IMPUL but it costs more than the Vertex I have....
Are there any other aftermarket bumpers out there that offer more ground clearance than the Vertex? I'm not looking to fit a stock or aero bumper either.
Here is my current front bumper for reference:
It is hard for me to tell if a bumper will clear the ground better than another, because it is a combination of distance from the center of the front wheels + height from the ground.
Thanks for your help!
