Awesome video!
Do you know if they will clear the stock rims?

[@thejourneyretold]

Definitely not the stock 14’s, but I think the XRC comes with 15s and if that’s what you have then they MIGHT. But best to look on their site for wheel figment :)

What is the link for the brake kits?

Are you able to keep the OEM wheels with the Wilwood upgrade? Thx

[@thejourneyretold]

I’m not sure - I honestly doubt it. If you go online you should be able to find a wheel fitment guide though.

Thank you

Are you running stock master cylinder and brake lines?

[@thejourneyretold]

Yup correct
