How much does your bumper weigh?

175 lbs. When I slammed on my brakes seconds before a collision with another car my nose dove down like a kamikaze bomber. Impacted the car with the wrong part of the bumper. Broke one of my lights. With the heavy duty springs, there's no more diving when I brake hard.

It kind of reminds me of James William Bottomtooth III on Family Guy. But as long as the OP likes it that's all that matters.
