I got the car on a lift today and looked at it. The springs were dirty so i took my finger and wiped them off and they were jet black. I also noticed something strange on the passenger side rear two of the coils are together. The car gets very swirly in curves, trammels like crazy and rides like ****. Is it possible they're some kind of drag springs or just screwed up factory ones. I thought all my handling problems were because of bad shocks. I'll try to get some pics up in the next little bit. I don't know where the camera is so i may have to wait for my girlfriend to get home. Thanks

stock springs it looks like. but since one of your rear springs is touching on the coil...it looks like someone took a torch to them to try and lower it. the rears need changed asap for sure. it would be a safe bet that they heated the fronts too.
Yeah, the rear springs need to go.
Personally I wouldn't buy oe equivalent replacement springs from the aftermarket. There are just too many actual OE springs available for next to nothing. If you want to buy springs then I would look into some of the better performing versions out there. If you like a solid handling car I would look into Strano springs/Koni shock set up. If going for pure drag racing then find something more in that line.
