Do you mean like ride height? I don't think there's ant difference in ride height just a slightly stiffer more "aggressively" tuned suspension. I'm not 100% so don't quote me on that

Track Pack (or is it the Boss?) front ends are 2" lower than the standard GT from the factory.

Pretty sure the Boss is not 2" lower... it is lower than the GT's though...

Anyone with a base GT want to take a quick measurement? I'll measure my GT base Track Pack wheel well to ground distance

Hmm... interesting...

FR - 29"
FL - 29.5"
RR - 29.75"
FL - 29.25"

I will say I had the car jacked up earlier, perhaps it hasn't settled back down all the way. I'll have to measure again after I drive the car next time.

2014 Standard GT sitting in garage

FR - 29
FL - 28 7/8
RR - 28.75
RL - 28.50

I think I remember reading somewhere the Boss front end is 2" lower. I'll see if I can find it.

I did the exact same thing (rear Steeda Boss Springs) on my 12 Boss a couple weeks back and had identical measurements.

Did you go with an adjustable Panhard Bar ?

Yes, I did.....the drivers side tire was offset at least 3/4"....for once in my life I planned ahead "just in case" and had a adjustable one to put on.

IIRC, the Track Pack/Brembo cars sit higher in the back than a base GT, if not all the way around.

I guess that makes sense as the springs are stiffer and if they are also the same length as the base GT springs that would result in the car sitting higher. Especially a base GT like mine with no options, so minimal weight.
