at 160lbs at 6 feet tall you are never going to have a good squat (or any powerlift for that matter). but other then that

- get your stance out wide - hams/glutes are much stronger then your back
- stay as tight as humanly possible while in the hole
- start the lift with your hips first (sit back at the beginning)
- while you drive out of the hole throw your traps into the bar
- mix up free and box squats

squat technique takes some time, and you are always going to be working on it. Im right around an 800lbs squatter and even at that, im using video on every set above about 70% to try to get things as perfect as possible.
