Just wanted to update now that I heard back from Clint since it seems I wasn't alone with this. I'd already completed the install and had the car corner balanced and aligned before I'd gotten the response, but maybe someone else can benefit from the knowledge. Car feels great as is though. I feel like I could have actually gone with bigger torsion bars than the 21/28 now that the spring rate from the rubber bushings is gone. The ride is very compliant as is.
Clint's response: "I think the 10-15 lbs is not much of a problem as they will free up once you put some miles on the car. If you want to eliminate it the method I use is to straighten the mounts on the chassis. Since the cross member needs to come down then the front housing wants to be tipped downward more. I remove the rear housing so nothing is holding up the back of the A arm, then use the A arm as a pry bar to very slightly tweak the area where the front bushing housing is bolted up. You want those two welded bungs to slightly move so that they hold the bushing housing at a different angle. Its a bit of trial and error if you want to get it perfect but I would say if you get close then thats good enough."
