anyway if you can answer that then bonus but
what do you all think?

60 front 40 rear:
60mm all round (on Apex kit):
I also got the splitter scraping when coming on/off the drive with the 60/40 setup.

none of the above, 30 front 60 rear, and a full tank of juice, keeps it just right imo

30 front and 60 rear will have the front pointing in the air  Plus a full tank won't make much difference.

Option 2 or perhaps 4 I think would work best.

It's hard to tell from the angle of that pic but it doesn't really look like 30mm front to me.
60mm has it sitting level and I never had any real problems with speed bumps. Just don't go blasting it over them and you'll be fine.

This is my bro's lowered 40mm all round :
And 60mm all round :
Obviously 40mm is better for everyday use with speed bumps and that but like Dave said,60mm all round is ok,just don't go flying over speed bumps.
Lowered 60mm didn't catch on anything aswell.

60mm isn't the end of the world with speed bumps, just do it.

The worst that happened to me was I scraped one particularly high bump into a local shop car park with the downpipe, but it only did it once as it dented it slightly 
Thinking about it I did have to turn two of the exhaust clamps on their sides as the threaded bits also scraped, but that's a 30 second job.

man i duno i like the look of 60mm but 40mm just seem more suited for every day driving... is 40 mm a less of a harsh ride or anything or is it the same as 60mm whats the handling like ? the same ?
also the big question is how about my tracking!!? iv herd that lowering will just fuck it up?
