Would front drag struts work good with my setup, as it will have a raked stance? Correct me if i'm wrong... drag struts provide more energy, forcing the front end upwards?

anyhow basic on drag struts they fit the same as regular struts and do not change the alingment. the come in 70/30 and 90/10 also adjustable wich is the stright poop. anyhow they are desinged to raise quickly and return slowly most people have this belife that a street car you run 70/30 and a track only car 90/10 not true. read this page and it will help you to understand suspention.
when you go with drag struts you should not expect the car to corner like a f1 car its desined to go strait. also you need to remove the front sway bar for them to act as designed. also with drag shocks in the rear people buy 50/50 shocks fact is a factory rear shock is 50/50 i like adjustable rear shocks.
to say will it help your combo well what do you want a drag car that does street duty or something that corners hard or something more inbetween thier are lots of neat products out thier and depending on how deep your pockets are what you get. thier is some neat adjustable stuff out thier that works great.

Pockets arn't deep, struts are free... just wanted some info on them and to make sure they are fine for the street.. which they obvously are because many people use them on the street. They are 70/30 i believe.
I run 90/10's an my car is mostly street. I don't understand the 
about 91/10's being dangerous for the street. With normal driving, you will have no problems. The front end rises so easily, I love it. I think a 70/30 would be a pretty much normal strut but more bias towards extention, so the front would rise more easily than a normal strut but not too extreme. My 90/10 Lakewoods are almost like no strut going up and a firm strut going down.
forgot to add... The rear lakewoods are not really a shock, more of a dampener. They are very firm but they stay where you put them, unlike gas units which tend to push up.
