Lower your car, you can go with a less aggressive drop such as 1.2 in the fronts and .9 in the rears, it should make your 19's look good.

I have my stock oem 19's w/a 1in drop in the front and a .6 drop in the rear. I have swift springs and my front is always scraping. I didn't think one inch drop in the front would be so or seem so low. but now i don't have a gap in the front and my rear is perfect. Went with Swift springs because it's a better quality spring then tein or most of the other brands out there.

You sure you got the right aspect ratio tires to match the stock ones? There shouldn't be much difference in tire OD between stock, 19" and 20" if the tires are sized right.
