if your on a budget, I had pedders in my 01 RX they were a decent ride & didn't handle to bad for there price.
If you do go really low with your stock shocks you can bottom them out & stuff them, ask the suspension shops on there thoughts

Yeah, pretty much what CJ mentioned. How old are your shocks and are they OEM or aftermarket? Plus do you have large size aftermarket wheels? Because you'll need to think about rolling the guards if they rub after going super low.

hey mate,
here are some pics of my last car (02RX) with kings low. The 'after' shot was on the day they were installed and it settled a little lower over the next few weeks. I found the handling had been improved dramtically over stock but unfortunately there was still a large gap in the front arch. I would go any lower than this though as I was already having trouble on a few ramps. Hope the pics are of us to you.
