Set of Steeda Boss Springs.
Loved the front springs, rears were too low for me. Ended up running the rears for about a week & the fronts for a few months. $125 shipped.

I have been running with stock Boss springs, and was looking for a little bit of a drop in the rear. The Steeda springs dropped the rear more than I wanted to go. ( right around 1 1/4")
Other than that, those springs are amazing. Selling a set of the stock Boss springs and the pair of GT500 strut mounts because I have an extra set of both.
 
Ride height changes are so confusing using OE style springs, I just closed my recent bad experience with "lowering springs" that actually raised ride height in front ('13LS). You said the 1 1/4" drop in the rear was too low; what was starting point, ie stock GT? You didn't say what the ride height change for the front was, do you have that dimension? Couple years ago Grant 302 posted a really good summary of springs/sway bars on TMO. In his summary the Steeda Boss 302 (555-8245) estimated drop was .2"F/.8"R from a Boss starting point; that would be a good result for me not to mention the spring rates would be an improvement from stock springs.
 
I was on koni yellows & stock boss springs prior to the steeda springs. My ride height was 27 5/8” F & 28 3/4” R. This is running a 285/35-19 square. Keep in mind, the lower perch on the koni struts is lower than stock by 1/4”, so the ride height is that much lower than on the stock boss struts.
After the steeda springs were installed, it was 27 1/2” F & 27 1/2” R. Leveling it out nicely.
The reason it was too low for me, I have a hitch on my car that I use for a bike rack. With bikes loaded on it, I would scrape it when backing out if my driveway.

Thx, got it. The Boss/Koni dims makes sense compared to my starting point with OE Tokico Struts/LS Springs with 255/40-19. Your rear starting point seems to be 1/4" to 3/8" lower than mine (OE Wheels 285/35-19), so a 1 1/4" drop in the rear works for me. No camber plate required? Camber plates adds material stack negating drop from spring.

Enjoy riding season in TX. We are already inside on trainers here in MI (light snow last 2 nights).
 
Camber plate not required. If I remember correctly, my alignment had -1.4 degrees of camber with the Konis & steeda springs.

Pretty much year round riding in Austin. Started this morning @ 42 degrees & finished @ 60. Can’t complain!
