My problem: My cd-rw won't work above speeds 20x anymore (it was manufactured for 52x)

Solution: In winblows, i got nero drivespeed and reduced the read/write speed down. My question to you guys is what file i need to change to reduce the default rw speed.

Are you looking for this file?
/etc/cdrecord.conf


you should also be able to specify the speed
