I had Kings lows in my MA61, although I suspect I actually got superlows because I parked it next to Paul Pyyvaara's identical MA61 (it even had the same 2JZ conversion) and we measured a significant difference in ride height. His looked reasonably low without being stupid, but mine looked... well, stupid. And yes, I definitely had to take a lot of speed bumps on a 45 degree angle.
I now have height-adjustable coilovers on the front and I've got them adjusted pretty high. Makes life a lot easier!
I might add the Kings lows don't do much except make your car lower; they're only marginally stiffer than stock so they don't do much for handling. From memory the stockers are 180 lb/in and the lows are 190 (or something like that). I have 300 lb/in springs now and it's a huge improvement.
My advice is to get height-adjustable coilovers if you can afford it. Car too low? It takes all of 10 minutes to raise it. Springs too soft? New ones are available off the shelf in any rate you desire, they're cheap, and it takes about an hour to swap them.
Pity the conversion isn't cheap, but hey, nothing is cheap in this game.
