'Fret out' and action height dilema

Hi People
Thanks to you guys and the info files i have got my new UV7BK trem floating and fluttering well. I added a three fold card shim, and highered the trem from the low depths of the body!

The problem i have now is that the action is 2mm from top of 24th fret to bottom of low B and just under 2mm on the high E, if i bend 4 frets at 17th fret it frets out, but i want the action a bit lower (like my strat). That is my 'catch 22'

What do i do?
