I was under the impression, anything more than eibach springs requires spacers, I think they are around 40mm drop

That does ring a bell. Its pretty low right now. Not sure how much i will have to check. I went with a small drop first (esipilar super down lowering springs iirc) and now its even lower. It scrapes on some of the larger speed bumps. Any idea where to get decent ones? Seen some 2 peice jobbies on ebay for £90 odd

Waste of £90
swap your cv joints round if you think its needed <you get vibrations>
lowered mine 25-30 at rear and is fine with 100kmiles Eibach springs,if i get vibrations I would swap them round.
plenty of how too"s and the reasons why to,do a search

You only need them if you feel vibrations. I felt vibrations as soon as my coils went on, the half shaft spacers worked for me.

I've fitted the Megan Racing split spacers so you dont need to remove the complete shaft. Quite expensive in the UK, but ordered mine as a bulk from the states (LSD, who is a trader on here) sorted me out with rear toe arms, shaft spacers and steering rack spacers. At the time it worked out almost half the price of all the bits would cost in the UK.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost all
In all?
