Default spring issue?

Hey everyone. I'm thinking of changing my springs as it seems to me that over the years I've noticed the front height dropping more and more. More so than the back.

Currently using pi springs,fitted for around 4 years. Before this i had Spax but they snapped 2 years in a row. Pi have been fine but I've noticed handling is becoming sloppy and the front wheels tucking into the arches is starting to bother me. All bushes are power flex apart from the rear drums area.

My question is are avo or cobra springs worth buying and if so what ones..

I've had apex but found these as a full kit to be track use only. I forgot to mention I'm still using Spax dampers,, want to change the spring make to see if the car handles better and no more sagging?

The guy who mapped my car speaks highly of the cobra springs iirc

I'm running some kilen lowering springs at the minute, happy with them so far.
