USF41 Build Thread (brianlin87)
I'll have some better shots soon, I suck with the camera (as you can all see above - Instagram can only do so much lol) after SEMA and its aftermath passes, I'll be asking around for guys to snap me some better photos to share. 

Truly a love-hate relationship I have with modding cars. I love not "skimping out" knowing these parts are all really good build quality, but my bank account hates me. Thanks for the compliment, more pics will be coming soon for sure.
I agree 21s are the best looking fit imo. I'm not worthy to hang with you though. 

Thanks!
Thanks!
Agreed with aero and OTG the car is near perfect. Im glad more people are deciding to go with the OTG series. Even with the 21's and 35 series tires it rides great and i couldnt be more happier.

In my opinion, the braking that came with this car is severely underpowered for a car that weighs so much. BBK has been a pleasure to drive with. Brembos have been my favorite mod yet.

I totally agree. I just wish brembo made a front and rear kit. This is why i opted for the Futura designs. They offer front and rear with different sizes.
trying to be a little more like you henry!
Yeah, I hear you on that. I just didn't find enough information in regards to Futura as a company to be comfortable moving forward with them. As an alternative, I actually just received the rear touring brakes to complement the front BBK. As always, your car is looking awesome - I just need to catch up.

Good question. Having had these installed now for almost 4-500 miles now, I can firmly attest that they have definitely been nothing but a pleasure to ride on. Suspension is definitely subjective and everyone should have their own criteria for what they want.
For me personally, the softness of the OEM Air Suspension was starting to give me a headache. I wanted to replace the OEM struts, but needed something that fulfilled the following criteria:
(i) Provided a stiffer rebound;
(ii) The flexibility/reliability of coilovers; and
(iii) Absolutely no codes/errors prompted in the dash cluster after installation
Though this suspension is probably the priciest of all the options I am aware of, in order to accomplish all of those things, the Youzealand x Aragosta SS Hybrid suspension was and is still AFAIK the only solution.
For those who don't know, Aragosta is the Japanese/European equivalent of AST USA, typically making race suspension for other chassis. The guys over at AST USA in Texas have been nothing short of helpful, answering all my questions and even providing me with the flexible dampening ***** for the rear coilovers so my rear dampening could be adjusted inside of the cabin.
All that said, in my opinion, this suspension is probably the best for what I needed/wanted.

I honestly think 21's fit right at home on these cars.
