We typically see about a 1/2" rake with our springs.
Typical ride height for a 2011+GT is:
Front: 28.550" - 28.875"
Rear: 29.450" - 29.550"
So yes, even with lowering the rear 1/4" more...you will still have a rake.
Just went out and measured. I'm actually 1" lower in the front than the rear. I think the OP is onto something when with using the 05 to 10 struts. Having the rake doesn't bother me but it is definetly noticeable.
