Will the Youzealand suspension replace the stock air suspsension? I'm not too familiar with this.

Yes it will. To be honest, I'm not entirely familiar with it either - I've been struggling to read the description/installation procedures provided through the Youzealand website, but based on what I can translate this is the best option for those who want to ride lower equipped with factory air ride.

my understanding is that youzealand takes your stock airbag, cuts it off the stock shocks, and somehow puts it over an aragosta coilover. the bottom mount is adjustable, letting you lower your car while still running full bag pressure. nobody in the US has this setup (except for samson at revision audio for a ucf30, but he's not going to install it) so brian's going to test the waters for us

No joke. I got in CJITTY's KILLER 2007 SWB with "Executive Leather Option" ( !!!!!!!! - NOT a joke) the other day and now our LS feels like cr*p in comparison.

Almost makes me wanna sell ours and 'jes go out and buy a Caddy-lack to ride in with Big-A** 26" chrome wheels.

Seriously.......QUALITY LEATHER make ya feel like you have somehow "Moved Up" in the world !

And to know that you have a 1 Of A Kind Dash like Brianlin87 has now makes it all that much better.

Gotta run. My Caddy-lack search on AutoTrader is starting now.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeee !

yes, the semi-aniline leather is noticeably softer than the normal leather

only thing i worry about is that it's so easy to wrinkle

hmm, that doesn't sound right. From what I remember only the LWB LS460s had semi-aniline leather.

Who cares ? CJITTY has it and I don't and I'm really jealous !!!

And it's more "padded" and appears thicker. Definitely more luxurious.

LOL ! Y'all have a great day now !

(Whistling and looking around) what? Who me? I have the comfort and luxury package. Armrest feels softer too. Didn't know it was an option until Tee showed me first hand..I bought mine from my broker and I was pleased to know I have everything but a/s, radar cruise and headliner dvd package. Mikey was hella pissed lol...sorry bro!!

The leather dash just yells classy and true baller status mixed with plenty of "bawse". It looks so classy. I can't even imagine how much that is. My new Vossens have top priority on the upcoming Mod list so this will be on the "Dang I want dat" list for now

Hey man, no for real..my door and center armrests have thicker leather, Mikey can vouch ..dude's gonna kill me lol. I'll see if i can snap some pics later today

Working on the Vossens man, hoping to scoop those up before Christmas gets here..

As far as the leather dash, I bet the ceramic tint on the front window to block all UV's and UVA's is a must!! I would be scared to have that in this GA heat...dash would look like ol lady from Something about Mary with the orange sun beaten skin lmao! #FRANKnBEANS #DontTouchHisEars
