Them Astra SXI wheels are et49 so 60mm should be fine on a decent size tyre.

i'm not talking about being lower, I'm talking about handling better than a correct 40mm (or 50mm) setup, not just springs...

lowered about 50mm...:

I lowered mine 35mm on Apex springs and KYB Gas shocks...wish I'd gone 60mm now. Not sure if mine looks high because the shocks are that stiff or not, lower than it was as standard anyway. I'll be going 60mm as soon as I find some money.
