Not necessarily bad advice but not totally correct either. When you lower your car you are also shortening the stroke of the shock and putting it in a static position much closer to the end of its travel. The advice to change shocks when drastically lowering is to get some that have been shortened to put the static shock position back in the middle of it's stroke where it was designed to function, good shocks will not just be shortened but valved to to work with the shorter shock stroke and higher spring rates that the lowered car has. By not changing them you will not really be breaking anything but they most likely will wear out sooner. 30-35mm should not be a problem on stock shocks I know plenty of people have this. I do not even know what is available in aftermarket shocks/springs for the DS3. I went right to a coil over setup.
