We present combined evolution of morphological and stellar properties of galaxies on the two sides of z=2 (2.0 2 to ~70% for z 2 to z<2, pure spheroids maintain roughly the same values. Additionally, while bulge hosting discs witness an expansion in scale length (~1.3 times), their bulge sizes as well as bulge to total light ratio see no evolution, suggesting that z~2 is pre-dominantly a disc formation period.
