HD shocks are pretty close to being a sport shock and will give a sport type of ride. I belive there are Sport, HD, and Comfort - shocks but the comforts may not be available here. I would stay with the HD's.
Tires are a large variable in ride harshness. Last track day I talked to an SC driver with full suspension and race tires. He said he bought a new set of street tires for his other rims and if he knew they would ride so nice he would have gone up a size or two in torsion bars.
Bushings have some effect on harshness but not to much.
Stiff springs and or sway bars are another direct factor as to ride quality.
If one compairs the weight front and rear to the effective wheel spring rates, the front is actually more stiffly sprung than the rear per pound. Thus, having a noticeable stiffness difference in the back, assuming you still have stock springs, dose not add up.
How old are the brake lines. When they age they can swell and retain pressure which may create some pull. Just jack up the side that pulls and see if there is any drag.
Corner balance I do not suspect should create a pull issue in a straight line I would think unless it is way off. It may make for unmatched handleing side to side.
If you want to see if you are way off, jack the car up by the factory jack point, remove the tires on that side, lower to normal height, and measure from the ground to a point near the torsion bar front and rear. Then put it back to together, drive around the block and do the other side. The measurements side ot side should be pretty close. It is good to disconnect the sway bars first but this should let you know if you have a lot of pre load.
Having one wheel slide under hard braking when the tires are warmed up may also an indication of out of balance suspension.
Might allow look at the front strut tops side to side and see how they are centered and if they are nearly the same from side to side. I would not expect them to be exactly the same but they should be kind of close.
Just some thoughts.
