Not recommended - anything on or over 40mm I'd say needs new shocks - and I'd recommend shocks whatever yu lower it by as they greatly aid handling.

id also advise uprated shocks as handling is much better, but in answer to your question, if the ££ is tight u can lower 50mm just springs

Save ur dosh and go for a cheap suspension kit, this will improve the ride quality alot, even a cheap set-up (£200ish) will be lot better than just a set of springs.
