Found a nice image detailing the difference.

21mm Lower if used with NA shocks.

You won't quite get 21mm lower if you use NB hats on NA shocks due to needing to reduce the height of the rubber bushes though.

I ended up probably 10-12mm lower when I did it.

EDIT- unless you use a fancy nut that can go down inside the bushes, then you might

Wouldnt it depend on which bush you reduce more?

I guess so. I had to chop over half off both bushes though

Would the custom tophat sprsta mentioned a while back get your car lower to the height you'd be more comfortable with? Just a thought.
