frustrated....please help

all right, so over the past month or so, i've been buying different body parts for my car and finally got around to installing them yesterday since it's my spring break. i put on the raptor fenders from custom maxima and they actually fit pretty well - there is just one spot where i need to fab up a bracket to pull the fender in closer to the car. i put on the evo5/octane front which, after some customizing, i got to fit perfectly. except it's way too low!! i'm running 18's with a tein h-tech drop and with this bumper i have about 3 inches of ground clearance. then i put on the sarona rear bumper and the fitment was just terrible. so what do i do? do i spend the time customizing the rear bumper to fit on my car? do i leave the evo5 front on even though its going to scrap some times? i'll try to take some pics later today and post them up.

The best solution to this problem would be a set of coilovers.

You're gonna destroy that front bumper driving around in New England... Might be time to sell it for something less extreme.
