front end higher than rear

I've been fighting this for sometime now and need some advice, I have new shocks on the rear and the front still sets higher than the rear. Also, when I'm driving and mash the gas, the front raises way up. Would new urethane bushings all around make any difference? Eventually I'd like to lower the car all way around maybe an inch or inch and 1/2.

new springs should help

First off my understanding is that shocks do not have anything to do with the height of your car, shocks only control the bounce. If you replaced your rear only and your car lift up from the front when you mash on the gas it's obvious your front struts are in bad need of replacement. Also I don't think bushing are going to solve your problem but they are a good idea to have to stiffen up the suspension. I just put a set of Prokits on my camaro and KYB shocks/struts all around and it's working great for me. Check this thread

Height determined by springs - shocks damper the bounce of the springs.
