Yeh i would love to lower it sooner, but i have to work out how low i can go, because of my driveway sloping down into garage and flattening out on the entrance of garage ( like in headlamps pic above) i dont want the SS bar bottoming out on garage entry

lower it to the max and buy a new garage.

haha, na seriously 2" once you got the 19's should be plenty, especially if your concered about bottoming out.
Nice ride btw.

haha i like this.

But yeah 2" is quite low! but.. my suggestion would be, get your rims n stick your car where you think your going to have problems and measure it.

great ride.. looking forward to seeing that front bar sprayed ;)

I rekon you could easily go as low as superlow, which is meant to be a 3-4cm drop below FE2... FE2 being lower than what your car is, cos it looks very high! I had my car at superlow height (VZ Calais) and it didnt scrape on anything, it was like normal. Since then i've but Ultra low all around, and now it scrapes on super steep driveways and on those really tall speed humps... Point being, SL should be fine i'd imagine.
