Yeah, -40mm is said to be 'ok' on standard shocks, and doesn't sacrifice ride quality as much. It will shorten the life of your standard shocks though.
But buy springs, run them, when you need shocks, buy uprated shocks

And what springs give a true 40mm drop?
I have Eibachs and it is -35mm front and -25mm at the back.
Because I drive without spare wheel and no back seat the back needs to get lower
