Strut Rod Help Please

I'm happy so far but I made several fairly major changes all at once so it's hard to tell what's what. I had 14" Rallyes, .87 torsion bars , worn stock suspension, wore-out shocks, and a Hellwig front sway before. Now 17" wheels, 1.03 PST t-bars, Delrin lowers with the QA1's, boxed LCA's, offset upper bushings, reinforced k-frame, and I splurged on Bilstein RCD's. After driving it several weeks, I'm still happy but not overwhelmed by the improvement in handling like I thought I would be. To be fair, I am running well-used front tires right now. Definitely feel the road a lot more.
