Some may say I am full of it, but I have seen a car go from being a turd to really hooked up and the only thing changed was removal of the stiff spring.
He is so right. If you are having handling problems, take the spring out. Put the deal together without the torquetube and without the torsion stops on, put a 1" socket on the jack and jack the rear-end up to ride height and move(rotate) the axle ALL the way through the motion. You'll discover amazing things by doing this.
E-mail me if you need more detail.
