Start with the tires and front end ;-) This will do a lot more then the springs!

Your "think wise" is good about the springs. In general: Softer spring, more traction, stiffer spring more reaction. Although it's a pancar with (as far as I understand from your post) a lot of grip. Some physic laws don't just work anymore (because of both!). Making the side spring softer will make the car "lean" more, instead of flippin' over or lifting it's wheels because of a too hard side spring.
