Rebuilt '69 Valiant front end

Somewhere in between the before pic and the after pic would be perfect IMHO.
DON'T lower the rear!
I would adjust the torsion bars up one turn and then take it for a drive.
My bets are on the wheel alignment guy set the front end to factory specs, and that is not the way to go if you have modified the car........ such as radial tires, jacked up the back end, etc.
The higher you set the front end up within reason, the better header clearance you'll have to boot.
These cars look great with some rake to them.
I have one just like your car, same year etc. and like the raised rear and lower front '70s look, but that's me...........
If you want the car to handle better, than lower is better on the back end.
Great looking car BTW!
What is your engine, trans, rear end etc?
I would love to see more pics as well!
