subframe connectors(frame extensions) are a good idea ties the front sub frame to the rear the shelby traction bars are a good idea i would check out www.laurelmountainmustang.com they have great deals on suspension rebuild kits for a stock to mild build and then maybe a little more performance something like the grab a track suspension from www.mustangsplus.com u can get them stiffer softer lowering,raising etc

and then all out id check in to www.opentracker.com (i think it is not sure on the addy) or www.streetortrack.com

I've never heard of an air bag for a 66 Mustang either. If you are talking about the air suspension, then say so and clear up any misunderstanding.

I had "airbags" for my mustang I could pump them up for more rake or let air out to lower the rear. They worked well. I got rid of them with I did a complete suspension overhaul with KYB gas ajust all the way around, big sway bars, lowing spring and lower leaf springs, Global west a arms and struts. The works. Sticks real good now.
