Superlows r ur only option to go any lower on an xr6, still a comfortable ride if u ask me. i still have the factory shocks on mine seems to be fine but i'll be changing them soon.

Agree with Joe. Kings lows are the same as XR height, so SL is the next step down (around 15mm drop, it should be). No need to change shocks unless your current ones are shagged.
