having it to low at the rear end ....i mean dont you get negative camber which results in poor handling an uneven excessive tyre wear?

That's way too low unless you're tracking primarily and have perfect streets around.  You're going to bust an oil pan or three regardless. No way you'll be able to hold more than 1 passenger at any time.

I'm dropped 43mm front and 33mm rear.  My 17" wheels tuck in the back and front has about 0 space between top of tire and fender. I struggle to carry two people in my car and bottom out easily doing so.  You will also get yourself a decent amount of neg camber, both front and rear.  Handling will be fantastic (read: on rails) but again, I personally wouldn't go lower then 40-50mm front and about 30-35mm rear.
