Water pressure static is 8bar. Working pressure (if that's the term) is 6bar. Flow rate from cold water is 28-29L/min.
Now this seems good (to me) but reading some suggested figures for ratings at different outlets, my readings seem almost dangerous by comparison.

What should I be aiming for to create what is considered the ideal balance between the two and should I be looking to achieve this using reducing valves?
 
Need to bring the pressure down to around 3.5 bar
