Tell me you have lots of rear droop? I belong to the school of 'you cannot have to much rear droop'. I use 45mm. I have had your problem when I (accidentally) had 20mm of droop.
* I’ll measure it tomorrow.
Tell me the rear shocks are very soft when you jump up and down on the rear of the car. Tell me they did not run out of gas during Covid. I have had your problem with shock issues.
* The shocks are twin tube, so have no gas. I’ve got my own shock dyno, and they are better than new.
Tell me the problem is the same turning both left and right.
* Both.
Tell me nothing is binding at the rear; such as bellcrank bearings, new (longer) bolts catching on something etc.
* No belcrank, just conventional old style shock set up. No new bolts, but will be checking for binding tomorrow.
And when all this is fine, bonding a belly pan can add 20% to the resistance to twist. Therefore, the rear springs/anti-roll bar combo could do with being 20% softer (yes, I know there is all sorts of geometry stuff at play here). So 350 rear springs and a softer bar if you have one; maybe your wet bar.
I cannot see a reason to start paying with the front at the moment. Leave it alone. Just play with one end.
* Yes, good idea, but with a limited number of springs, its easier to just swap front to rear.
