Since you've got the car in the air and the wheels off, the tires and 
torsion bars don't really control the position of the rotors. Since 
you're against the bump stops, what are the chances that the bump 
stops are crushing different amounts?

The bump stops could also be bent due to rust or accident damage.  You might try to put a level on the lower control arms to verify that they are starting at the same height and are also level and square.  (Note it's been a while, so I'm not even sure if this is possible without hitting other items).  This might also verify that the control arms aren't bent themselves.  

Just a thought
