Try this site, www.fensport.co.uk its a bit pricy but it is good stuff. I wouldn't drop the front 40mm without changing the front shocks, the rear ones will cope sufficiently with 40mm but you front ones will get very tired very fast.

My setup is fensport springs all round (35mm drop made by blitz in japan) and uprated KYB front shocks, the 20% stiffer ones. You can get some cheap spring kits on eBay but definately watch out for those front shocks.

On my old Corolla I had the Koni shocks front and rear and Apex springs, is an expensive set up but worth it, proper sticks to the road...

use HnR springs. Great riding comfort in my opinion
