Air Bags (for springs)

Would adding airbags in the rear keep the front end down when at the strip?

There relatively cheap, and I have some goodies I can use for a pump and solenoid deflate.

Just an idea.

take off the aero spoiler, maybe that will help with the drag. systems like that always break down, ive seen it myself man. maybe dropping in some springs would help u out? or getting a front lip/spoiler?

Well, eibachs go in next weekend, but I want to make the rear end REALLY stiff when at the strip. I can get a new pair of bags to put in the springs for under $100, and I have an industrial 12v compressor, solednoid valves, and tubing, so it would be really easy and cheap to do.

I am just wondering if they have much of an effect.

but I'm not looking for downforce at the strip, I need stiff suspension to keep the car from bucking.

now for road courses... an effective spoiler might help, but probably not at the speeds I reach
