Default Front struts leaking, what about springs?

I did some research, and lowering doesn't help with drag racing, so I'm going to stay at stock height. Is there any point to replacing my springs? My ride height seems fine, but is there any advantage to replacing the springs but keeping the same height? I'm a spring/strut noob, so help is appreciated, thanks I was also looking at the kyb struts...

If you want to maximize load transfer at launch you would find longer but thinner springs so they settle at the same height but unload easier and higher at launch. If you're driving around on the street most of the time stick with the stockers.
