Default which spring

*i am not looking for a lowering spring!*

Right now my car is basicly set up for drag racing. I have hal front shocks, hal front springs, lca, sfc, ect....

Im looking for better handling. Should i just go with some 325lb springs, or should i look more towards my sway bars? (stock)

The stock springs are actually good for handling, although if you have drag springs on they are set up mainly for weight transfer and not handling. Best bet would be a good set of swaybars for the street, which you can remove (the front) at the strip.

The swaybars will help control the body roll, but if you are using the softer drag springs it will be a give and take relationship...
