Best aftermarket bumper for ride height

Best aftermarket bumper for ride height
SO, my fiancee borrowed the car the other day and made out with a snowbank and gave my bumper herpes. Seriously, tho, the right side was trashed. I have to replace all the splashguards, the wheelwell plastic, and the entire bumper. I don't want to go stock, as it's more expensive than aftermarket. I had a stock bumper with an aftermarket lip, but the company doesn't make them anymore.
I want suggestions for a replacement bumper that's not going to lower my ride heigh significantly, as I still want to be able to get the car towed if needed. I was looking online and the Walker bumper looks too low, and I'm not getting straight answers from sellers. SO, anyone that has gone with aftermarket bumpers, can you chime in about changes to ride height and what would be the best option for an 03 lancer?
Thanks!

Ack, that's not what I wanted to hear! hmmmm, as for what I had for a lip kit, I forget the company now...but it had aero slots cut out near the wheel wells, and lifted up a bit more than stock under the radiator. This is what I had:
It was $120, for a stock part I was looking at $570 shipped, without paint, from the dealer. And it's near impossible finding a junker to grab stuff from that doesn't have front-end damage, or a guy wanting way too much for used crap.
The seller told me this bumper only sits about .5-1" lower than stock. So I'm hoping I'm still okay as long as it's not slammed.

I almost left a comment about that last night but didn't want to be that guy
I was originally considering this entire kit before I found OZ bumpers on craigylist.
how do you feel about the Kaminari front bumper? Granted, it does differ in design from the stock bumper
