i've put those 40mm apex springs on yesterday and they look great.
handling seems to have gotten abit better also. i have 17's and its sitting about 20mm from arch to tyre now, instead of alot more.
it gives it a great sporty look, but if you're after the really low look, id say defo 50mm at least.
i will post some pics up when i can find my lead for my camera

Does anybody have any experience on ABT lowering springs (-35mm)? Not exactly cheap here in Helsinki anyway. I was offered those for 510€ (including installation etc.). Are those worth it?

€510 is around £350!!! 
i paid £85 for my apex springs, ABT cant be too much more and you would be looking at around £80 on average to fit.
so that would be around €240. so i would say you're getting ripped off with 510!!!

The trick with any lowering springs is to make sure they are progressive springs - easy to tell progressive springs have a varying distance between the coils so the close ones compress easily and teh ones that are far apart don't compress so easily
Result - you get a low look (without losing fillings on M ways) yet a much better handling car cos after the initial body roll the car stiffens up and runs round the corner like it's on rails
