Default Rear Axle Handling Kit

I was looking to order one of these kits from Pumaspeed, but I'm unsure as to what size to get ?

BasicallY will be keeping the o.e.m 17" wheels, but do plan on lowering the car another 30mm or more.

Can anyone recomend what ones to fit, as they range from 10mm to 20.5mm

Also what would I use on the front wheels ?

Would this be O.k ?

Many thanks.

id go 10mm or 12.5 but def not 20mm. 10mm is going to be the safest option if i had to pick between the 2.

iv not tried it myself paul but i would think yes front and rear would take it but maybe theres a possibiltiy the arches may need to be rolled. put a straight edge up from the wheel to the arches spaced 10mm out and see if it looks like it will be ok .
