..the reduction is negligible... the 50mm drop eibachs are physically much shorter than the originals anyway.

There's a bit of confusion here...
Spacers will add to the o/a height of the spring...so if your going to use them say in conjunction with lowered aftermarket springs, but with stock shocks, they'll put more travel distance back onto the stock shock absorber and improve the ride quality - not the case if you've also used aftermarket lowered shocks and springs in combination...
Also a 50mm drop on a TS Astra is definitely going to cause issues with scrubbing, even with the stock 17's (I'm going by an Astra T here) both on the front and rear..
Just be careful when lowering a car with different lowering height springs on the front and rear, you might end up with a raked or rear 'jacked up' look - always use the sets complete as they come, especially good brands like Eibach, H&R etc. they are fully R&D tested to work correctly...
If your after a specific look and need the front to be 'dipped' just that little bit more, then you may have to bite the bullet and go for a set of good coilovers...
Can't really see the need though, just going by my Astra T vert and so many other TS Astras I've seen lowered with Eibachs as they sit and look perfect with either a pro or sportline kit with a drop of anywhere from 25-40mm.
