Have you put your car on independent scales? Where it measures the weight on each wheel? Your weight displacement might be off...

is your front sway bar on?
def need air bag in pass side rear.
possibly tires are too short and not letting the suspension work.
taller tire will have a better footprint but also absorb some of the shock and it lets the suspension work better on the initial hit.

Set your pinion at -2 degrees. Slicks or radials? Suspension setup is differant depending on what tire your running.

Put in a motor with less horsepower. V-6's get decent mileage too. Problem solved.

Do you have a trans-brake or are you leaving off the foot brake?
