I have the Bilstein sprintline kit, lowers a true 40mm, maybe a touch more. Handling is also good. That was about £350 brand new i think, not sure how much the streetline kit is tho

Streetline kits are one of the cheapest kits out on the market for shocks and springs. Bout £180-£200 usually, which isnt bad for Bilstein stuff. Only problem is the dampers are only slightly uprated (10%), but still better than nothing , plus they will be matched to the new spring height .
