My new lowering springs turned up today, is there any difference in springs between revs? Just wondering as most parts I've bought recently hasn't fit.

Thing is the lowering springs will fit all the mk2, just the original springs were different heights. so the rev1 will get a bigger drop than a rev2 as the rev2 was lower from the factory.

They tend to sell the spings with the rev1 drop quoted, so -40mm is from the rev1 height, later revs will see less of a drop as they were lower to start with.
