Fine but, more than 30mm on standard shocks will cause issues.
You will need to disable the self leveling setup to.

After lowering and a full geometric set up you'll have a vast improvement in handling and stability.
I lowered my previous '94 Elite by 40mm with standard length, slightly up-rated, Monroe shocks. KYB's on my current '00 CD.
I didn't find any issues with std height shocks and 40mm lowered springs over a period of 4 years, but can only advise from my own experience.
With speed humps and if you have a steep driveway etc. maybe 30mm is a better option.
You won't be dissapointed with the drive either way. :y
