new torsion bars, 1.05 car way too high,

Have you moved or driven the car with them installed yet?
^^^ this. Take it for a drive it will settle out and drop down a bit.
Also stupid question - were the nuts on the LCA pivot pin tightened up with the car on the ground?
If the car has rubber bushes and the pivot was tightened with the suspension at full drop the bush might be binding and holding the car up a little
