I own a '14 GT and a '72 Grande, I love the way my '72 is raked, and I'm wanting it on my '14. I found some springs on AmericanMuscle, that are ~2" in the front and ~1" in the rear. I know that I'm going to have to get it re-aligned, but I didn't know if anyone else has done this or has a different route of going about this. A lot of them from what I've seen have been closer to equal this this one, so I'm not sure if it is going to mess with my drive-line angles, or burn up the u-joints quicker or if it's not extreme enough.
Here's the link to the springs on AM -

Any help or info is highly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

2" in front is slammed on these cars.

I personally like my BMR springs. They are stated as a 1/1.25" drop, but I got 1.25" F and 1.5" R drop on my 2013 Brembo. I added a slightly taller (0.6") to the rear and I think the rake is perfect.

I actually have these on my 13'. I've had them on for about 8/9 months now and no issues as of yet. Still rides and feels great

Let us know if we can help you out, like Derek said. BMR springs are a very well rounded option.

So buying the Cobra Jet springs will lower the car a bit? What all has to be done once you install springs only?

You are eventually going to want to replace the upper strut mounts as well as the shocks and struts. The stock parts are crap and will wear out really fast after you lower it.
