  • Moser 9inch rear
  • 31 Spline Trutrac with aluminium head and 4:11 gears
  • Global West trailing arms and rear coil over system
  • QA1 front and rear coilovers
  • 15inch and 14inch Wilwood brakes
  • 20×12 Rear wheels with 325 25 20
  • 20×9 Front wheels with 255 30 20
  • Custom made rear diffuser, side skirts, front spoiler, and exhaust side exits
