I need to lower them, as the actions a wee bit high for my liking.

Thinking .11s, but I'm afraid of going too low as it has reinforcement instead of an adjustable truss rod.

Anyone care to chime in?

(p.s. will post pics when I get a chance)
I'd put a set of 12s on it first and let the neck get use to those for a while. After a few weeks give the 11s a try.
