Can the stock shock absorbers handle -35-40mm lowering?

Just depends on how many miles are on the stock struts. If they're due for replacement anyhow lowering springs will just exacerbate the problem. Might as well replace both at the same time, it's cheaper in the long run if you're paying to have it done.
