It'll be really bouncy on standard shocks and the shocks wont last 2 mins either

40mm would be perfect but I would too also recommend uprated shocks for better handling and stability.

30mm - should be OK with standard shocks, anything lower start thinking of shocks and spring packages.

For serious and bring drops i.e 60-70mm I would get adjustable coilovers

40mm on standard shocks will be bouncy bouncey, the sock wont be able to comtrol the rebound of the spring, if ya want 60mm which looks real good get a spring shock combo
