Default How Much Lowered by Mean City Cycles?

I sent my seat to MCC to get my SG seat narrowed and lowered 2 inches. I am also getting the back squared up and memory foam added. I am worried 2 inches may be too much and the seat may not look or feel right. I am 5' 8" and about a 29-30" inseam. Of those who have had mods made, how much did you lower and how are the looks? Pics would be nice if possible. Also, did you do any mods to the passenger area?

My wife is 5'5" and rides an ultra classic that we lowered 1" in the front and rear. We had her seat done at MCC. We did the memory foam mod, moved her 1" forward, and narrowed the nose. The bike now fits her perfectly. Your SG should be around 2" lower than an ultra right out of the factory. I'm wondering why you want to lower the seat at all.
