If the springs you have are definately -35mm, then I'd say something has been put together wrong or there are some parts missing?

Is it stupidly low front AND rear?

it is only realy low at the rear, i had a think bout it and thought that becuse its got the adustalbe suspension. that it might be stuck on the hard setting ant not letting the springs free

so then you only need to change the spring as the shock does not change the ride height then!
easy job that! they literally pull out once the car is jacked up in the air.
they cant be adjusted though, only change them for different springs.
