Normal springs primarily define the ride height.

Progressive springs have the tendency to be more responsive on short bumps.

Shocks dampen the unsprung mass. They have a pressure and a rebound stage. They don't influence the ride height in general.

Torsion bars transfer force from one wheel to another. So if you drive a left corner, the right wheel will press the left wheel down via the torsion bar. Same with bumps and acceleration and so on.

So if the right height is right, the problem is the shocks or the torsion bars.

Because everything has to be adjusted to each other i would combine things. So if you want to go with H&R (which is pretty firm on bad roads) than go full H&R. Springs, shocks, torsion bars, and important the right torsion bar rubber elements for the torsion bar diameter.
