Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of myths about what mods 79-04 Mustangs “need” to compete at autocross events. I hope I’ve been able to show that coil overs and aftermarket K-members aren’t required to turn your pony into a corner carver. But, there are many other myths out there.
Believing them can make people spend money on parts they don’t need, or keep them from participating altogether.
This video covers common myths about springs, shocks & struts, horsepower, rear tires and rear gears, and debunks them with facts.
If you’re starting an autocross build, or thinking about autocrossing your 79-04 Mustang, don’t let these myths steer you toward the wrong mods.
