   I want to lower by around 30mm but i need new shocks as it is... i'm not that good when it comes to this stuff, will i still need to replace the shocks if i lower it?

   if your only goin down 30mm your shocks will be ok. but people do recomend to uprate them as it will handle better nd the drive will be better.

   The shocks will make no difference to the height of the car either

   Get new shocks mate, when the whole thing is sorted all at once it makes it so much better when you drive out again. I have been there and springs alone simply dont cut it.
