There are plenty of other options out there, but I suppose it's really up to you. Just so you know, this kit sits really low, even without lowering springs/coilovers. As with any kit, there is always some fine adjustments involved, even if you go with the "real" Amuse kit. There are plenty of real vs fake threads on here that you can read and judge for yourself. Personally, I'd rather spend a bit more for the authentic stuff. For the most part, they are usually superior in quality (that's not to say replicas can't be as good).

How low does it sit? Low enough that speed bumps would be an issue?

depends on the speed bump but if you are not lowered then it should not be a big problem but a drop really makes the kit. the side skirts are the problem with the speed bumps. you have to make an effort to go over them slowly and at a angle to make sure they do not bump.

Anybody have a picture of a 40th with the Amuse kit installed?

The front is actually a bit longer and goes straight across unlike the stock facia that curves upward from the bottom. If you've hitting the driveway aprons with the stock sports package chin spoiler, chances are, you'll run into the same problems with Amuse, if not worst. This is with the stock suspension. I'm not saying it's impossible to live with, but you will have to be more careful.

Also, if you get the whole kit, it doesn't look right without at least a 1"-1.5" drop. Put the two together and you'll have to think twice about entering driveways with too steep a grade. The only kit I've seen in person was Shadowx2x's. Look through his album and you'll see what I mean.
