    Gen1 CorteX Vintage Build: Project Hatemail

    Cambered Rear Vs. Weight Reduction Vs. Power Mods - Help Me Decide!

    Weighing in here and trying to be objective as I'm naturally going to be a bit biased. First, the feedback above is top notch. This community is as you probably know, a phenomenal place to get a variety of input. Having seen hundreds of these builds, and having sold hundreds of cambered axles, I...

    Late S197 Front Control Arms...CAM-C car

    As others have mentioned, the stock 11-14 arms with the OEM bushings & ball joint or the Boss 302s with competition bushing kit are the way to go. The way the front K-member and arm setup works on these cars is tricky from a load standpoint. Create something too rigid and it will bend the OEM...

    Traction Trouble

    Thanks for the tag and for the discussion here. A few points of mention...The Shelby American Penske Setup is a private label deal that we do for them in conjunction with Penske. Penske provides the internals (obviously) but we provide the housings and did a ton of joint development work along...

    Gen1 CorteX Vintage Build: Project Hatemail

    Tiny package, big cubes. These things continue to be a very popular choice for vintage mustangs due to the compact size.

    Gen1 CorteX Vintage Build: Project Hatemail

    Mario really knocked it out of the park on the fab work for those lines. I think I mentioned it in the blog but I feel bad that we have to cover them up.~Chandler

    Gen1 CorteX Vintage Build: Project Hatemail

    Rear end catch can ideas

    There's a variety of ways that customers do it. Some choose to simply bolt it to the spare tire well on the underside of the car.Others, like Mentioned, will put it in the trunk and replace the drain fitting on the bottom with a barb, then run the hose down and hook up at the axle vent. This...

    CorteX Racing Products: Price Reductions

    They're available but it usually involves moving to a dedicated race brake system such as AP Racing or some of the smaller brembo calipers. While it's not a cheap endeavor, there are a multitude of benefits from weight savings, to larger pad sizes, and more heat resistance.Let us know if it...

    CorteX Racing Products: Price Reductions

    The garage sale page did indeed get axed when we flipped websites. I'm not saying it will never come back (as we actually really need to clean some old stuff out) It's just on the backburner for now. The admin time / effort associated with documenting, listing, and then managing individual one...
