Schwartz Performance started bolting one of their G-Machine chassis under the body. On to that they installed Heidts independent rear suspension and Ridetech’s Shockwave air ride system. A set of Forgeline DE3P wheels (19×9, 19×12) with Nitto Invo tires (255/35-19, 325/30-19) cover Baer six-piston calipers with 14-inch rotors in front and four-piston calipers in back.
