Need help from the suspension gurus here!

I think you are getting hung up on front end travel when I can tell you mine does not rise like it did when I ran a torsion bar setup and in my opinion I would order up some rear D/A shocks as the first step to getting your car to work good and although there are differing opinions on front spring rates a call to Menscer with some info about your car, like weight etc. will be beneficial in my opinion.
