Come across these but not alot of detail on what is dropped by 40mm ive contacted the company and ill update

Ime its not possible to get the rear camber and toe set correctly with a ride height 30mm lower than stock. Although the LPG tank might make it lower than 30mm in mine. Not sure.
I had to raise mine 10mm back up to get the settings correct.
I am fairly sure you'll have excessive tyre wear at 40mm drop at the rear. Although Pedders do rubber excentric trailing arm bush to help with rear camber.

I think that 40mm may be a shade too much. 30mm, imho, is about the limit on UK roads, but I guess driving style may impact things.
If I had a preference, I'd go 30mm at front, and 15-20mm at back, as 30mm at back is too low - as the damage to my bumper and drivers side exhaust confirms ;D
-
so what we saying 20 to 30mm?

30 front 20 back. Being honest, lowered sports chassis is probably safest. Which is 15mm each end. But then only gm do that ride height.££££
