Scraping headers

My car seems to ride really sloppy in the front end... it sits at a good height but even some dips on the highway will cause it to bottm out. Is this the torsion bars or the shocks? and what is the best approach to eliminate this from shearing off my drivers side header more?

Thanks

My first guess would be torsion bars, but when you say it sits at a good height, are you going by eye or by the specified measured ride height?

The headers are cheapo hedman headers... the drivers side hangs really low. this is a pic of the height its hard to see really but i dont think i would want it to sit any higher in the front or it would look goofy.

That seems to be the root cause right there.  :popcrn:

be careful with them...i had hooker competition headers on mine and i drove over a man hole in the alley behind my house...caught the header and cracked my head....  >:(
Daddy ran whiskey in a big black dodge
bought it at an auction at the masons lodge,
Johnson County Sherriff painted on the side,
just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside,
well him and my uncle tore that engine down,
I still remember that rumblin' sound.....

ya the headmans hang real low on third gens. your only options are to get better headers or run manifolds.
