Drag Shocks/Struts with Air bags?

I was thinking about upgrading my suspension for drag use and some street driving. I have the stock w6 springs on all 4 corners with the stock struts and monroe shocks with airbags in the rear springs. The car is a 1991 Formula

I was thinking of Lakewood 70/30 struts/Shocks with Eibach's drag springs. But would they do anygood in the rear if I had the airbags in?

I haven't changed my shocks or struts "yet" but I use the air bags in the rear. Properly adjusted they can even make an open diff hook up like a posi.
