When I first got the car I heated the front springs to lower it like a dummy so they would compress but wouldn't throw any weight to the rear now I have a feeling that I will have I limit the front suspension to keep it down and off the bumper.

Make sure that the front sway bar is unhooked. My car would pull them running 7.7's. Actually pulls them better with the 17's then the 15's.
