yes you can run -30mm eibachs on standard shocks. mine are on standards atm and all is fine can be a bit bouncy but it does get rid of a lot of the 'slop' in the handling.
its not recommended to go any lower on standard shock tho as it will cause problems.

TBH id have said best hope was someone selling them second hand.
Depo's can be bought off ebay quite easily. They are the RHD ones.
