Scott,
One good way to measure squat is to put a ty-rap around the damper shaft so that it touches the top of the damper body at ride height. Then drive the car on a smooth bit of road and jump on it.
Then measure the amount of movement of the ty-rap. This will give you the amount of squat that you have. (At the damper, you will have to look at the motion ratios to extrapolate wheel movement.)
I am not familar with your chassis, but that is a bunch of toe steer. Are you sure this cannot be adjusted out? Rear toe steer is not good. Makes it damned near impossible to set up the chassis so that it feels good to the driver. Plus 3/16 in is giving you a bunch of drag.
I would look at fixing the toe steer before I worried about anything else.
Also, It is proven fact (Just ask any driver) that new dampers improve the driver far more than the cost involved of the new units. Just ask any damper supplier and they will confirm these findings.
