raising my ride... maybe

hey all, my EF currently has superlow King springs and Monroe GT shocks all round, the ride quality is pretty crap and the car "tracks" alot (by this i mean the front end has a tendancy to wander a fair bit). Does anyone else have this happen?
A local suspension place i spoke to said the car "tracks" because it is so low (they also said something about the steering rack being on a funny angle or something because of the lowering). They recommended putting in "Formula" sportslow springs (which are apparently made by King) and that should stop/greatly reduce the "tracking" and improve the ride quality a bit. Are these a good spring?
Obviously raising the car is going to detract from the looks, but if it means a better, safer feeling ride and improved handling i think it's probably the go.
What are your opinions???

I'm content with a bumpy ride. I have super low springs shortened koni adjustables at the rear (set to 3/4s) and monroe GTS upfront. also camber kits and a 30mm sway bar. i found that my car didnt track till i got my 17's with 235 rubber. before then it was just bumpy.
