Braking will come from race-all set Wilwood calipers grabbing 14-inch rotors. The Boot’s 22 inches of suspension vacation can be witnessed in motion in the movie accompanying SCG’s tweet over. It was created for 37- or 40-inchꂿGoodrich Baja KR2- or KR3-collection tires.
Want 1 of your personal? That can be organized. SCG has a 49-condition-authorized road-prepped variation with a minor fewer suspension vacation (19 inches) and a ton fewer electrical power (460 ponies), but it however seems to be the element. SCG will develop both variant for you, if you have the scratch. Count on a six-figure price.
