Default Ride height drop with Shelby rear springs

Does anyone know what the drop is when using Shelby GT500 rear springs compared to the stock rear GT springs? Looking to get about one inch of drop in the rear if possible.

The few GT500s I've seen all seem to sit higher in the back than a stock GT.

Based on the threads posted here the favourite choice for lowering just the rear seems to be the Roush springs but that may mainly be because you can buy only the rears.

Hey Mike funny seeing you here. I'm not familiar what the drop would be in a GT500 v. a GT. Not sure if you saw the drop on my car, but I have the Roush rears only, no front springs and they are good for a 1" drop. This is where I got my for $127 shipped. If you want to see it close up let me know, we can meet up somewhere.

I have CM motorsports rear springs installed now since spring of 2008. They are supposed to be 1.1 inches of drop, but after sitting all this winter I beleive they are more than that. I can get Shelby takeoffs real cheap. If they were 3/4 to 1 inch of drop, they would be perfect with my tall rear tires. If those won't work, then I would go to Roush springs. One of the guys from our Mustang group showed up just after you left. He wanted to see the drop of your Roush springs. Maybe we can meet up at one of the next cruises.
