35mm on the rear  :shocked: is that not too low?? someone told me dont go more then 30mm on the rear as u will have some issues going over speed humps etc etc, so cause i was in two minds iv delayed getting my lowered to as I'm not sure what to go with my self lol  :undecided:

You've answered your own question ' don't go lower than 30mm' your thinking 35mm!!
I would get your desired spacers fitted fully load your car with 5 mates see how low it sits and how close to arches the tyres are then decide how low you can go....  :whistle:
