You could find someone with and Outback that wants to swap out the body lift stuff (rear crossmember spacers, upper lateral link, g/box crossmember, steering uni joint, front crossmember spacers/crash tubes and all bolts etc) or see if King Springs makes a HD spring for it.

Try posting on ausubaru.com too - they are into lifting cars over there.

Where abouts are you?

Is the RX all that low though? Unless you are going to be doing something like Gibb River Rd or getting seriously off road, I don't think standard ride height is a problem
