CorteX Racing

What CorteX Racing does

CorteX Racing is a specialty American manufacturer and direct-to-consumer retailer of high-performance automotive aftermarket parts, focused exclusively on Ford Mustang suspension systems spanning six platform generations from 1964 to 2025 (Fox Body, SN95, New Edge, S197, S550, and S650). Operating under the legal entity CorteX Precision Technology LLC and founded in 2009 in Sonoma, California, the company develops its proprietary Xtreme-Grip suspension line — including Watts Link systems, Torque Arm systems, Coil Over kits in single, double, and triple adjustable configurations, Radial X front spindles, K-Member packages, monoball bearing kits, and cambered full-floating CV drive axles — alongside adjacent offerings such as vintage Mustang fuel cells, an EPAS Steering Rack CAN Simulator for Mustang/Raptor/F150 platforms, and resale partnerships for Forgeline forged wheels and Brembo brake packages.

The business operates primarily through direct e-commerce via its own website, supplemented by an authorized dealer and installer network across the United States. Revenue is generated from one-time aftermarket parts sales — spanning unit prices from approximately $20 for lug nuts and brake fluid to $9,995 for complete rear suspension systems — plus quote-based custom fabrication, installation, engineering consultation, and race support services delivered through the in-house shop in the San Francisco Bay Area. CortesX serves four distinct customer segments: Street/Performance Enthusiasts (primary), Road Racing/Track competitors (primary), Drag Racing customers, and Restomod/Custom Builders. The company validates its products through active participation and on-site support in IMSA, NASCAR, and grassroots motorsports events across the country, and supports an extensive educational content library covering suspension setup, wheel fitment, and tuning.

The company remains privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, no acquisitions, no subsidiaries, and no public revenue disclosures. Headcount is reported in the 1-10 range, the geographic footprint is limited to the United States, and the founder is Filip Trojanek. Revenue mechanics are concentrated in US Mustang-specific enthusiast demand, with adjacent Ford truck application exposure limited to the EPAS product line and a small classic-car restoration surface in the vintage fuel cell offering.

Direct peers

• Detroit Speed: Detroit Speed designs and manufactures performance suspension, chassis, and drivetrain components primarily for classic Ford Mustangs and Chevrolet Camaros, with a focus on restomod builds — directly overlapping CorteX's vintage/restomod segment and full-system approach.
• Viking Performance: Viking Performance is a Ford specialty manufacturer producing coilover systems, suspension components, and chassis parts for Mustang and other Ford platforms — closely comparable coilover and full suspension system offerings to CorteX's Xtreme-Grip line.
• Maximum Motorsports: Maximum Motorsports is a Mustang-specific aftermarket manufacturer specializing in suspension, chassis, and drivetrain components for SN95, New Edge, S197, and S550 Mustangs — overlapping product focus on street/track suspension systems and shared enthusiast customer base.
• BMR Suspension: BMR Suspension manufactures aftermarket suspension components (lower control arms, anti-roll bars, springs, K-members) targeted primarily at Camaro, Mustang, and GM muscle car platforms — directly comparable product category, customer base, and Mustang specialization.
• Steeda Autosports: Steeda is the most direct competitor to CorteX — a long-established specialty manufacturer of aftermarket performance parts specifically for Ford Mustangs and Ford vehicles, including suspension, drivetrain, and brake components, serving the same street/strip/track enthusiast segments.

Broad incumbents

• Eibach Springs: Eibach is a global manufacturer of performance springs, anti-roll bar kits, and Pro-Kit/Pro-Plus suspension systems. It sells Mustang-specific anti-roll bars and lowering springs directly competing with CorteX's anti-roll bar and coil-over offerings, with far greater brand reach and distribution.
• KW Suspensions: KW is a globally established aftermarket coilover and suspension manufacturer with broad vehicle coverage across European, domestic, and Japanese platforms. While not Mustang-specialized, it competes in the same premium coilover/track suspension category CorteX occupies for S550/S650 buyers.
• BILSTEIN: BILSTEIN is a major OE and aftermarket suspension manufacturer (shock absorbers, coilovers, B16/PSS/PSS10 lines) with global scale and Ford OEM relationships. It competes head-to-head with CorteX in the Mustang performance suspension category but across a much broader product and platform portfolio.
• Ford Performance Parts: Ford Performance is the OEM's official performance parts division offering factory-engineered suspension, braking, and powertrain upgrades for Mustangs and other Ford vehicles. It competes for the same enthusiast buyer with brand authority, warranty backing, and dealer integration CorteX cannot match.
• H&R Springs: H&R is a European-based manufacturer of performance springs, coilovers, and anti-roll bars with broad vehicle coverage including Mustang platforms. Competes in the same premium suspension aftermarket segment as CorteX with much wider distribution and platform coverage.
