Vaughn, based upon your picture, and our experiences with our 951, I'd say that you need stiffer rear torsion bars. Your car is sitting down on the rear suspension (even though you did say that it was low to begin with) and you are lifting the front wheel on acceleration. I don't feel that your car should have enough power to do this (i.e. the squat that you get with 350~400 hp). Keep the back up, and he front will stay more planted. Then tune it with sway bar adjustments. Years ago I had a local 911 expert suggest to me that I was undersprung in rear of my Carrera. I did then what I am recommending to you and the difference was dramatically better.

Cool... but I don't think they come any bigger than 34mm.

I'll raise it up a half inch or so, see what that does...

What front control arms do you have ? Sounds like you are going into a bind ,Coil or if you have fabcar or something of that design check to see if the arm is hitting the crossmember. also what rear bar are you using ?

A-arms are stock - steel, with spherical bearings. Rear bar is the 19mm Cup Car bar with KLA spherical adjustable endlinks.
