Mstudt Links

Who all is running Mstudt's links? I was planning to order his disconnects earlier this year, but he convinced me for the 4th gens they are dangerous to CV life span. Too bad, they looked cool.

He is about to come out with a new better ball joint, so I'm thinking about doing that and going adjustable. Did the adjustments make a big difference to anyone that has them? If I understand correctly, after lifting you want longer end links so it isn't restricting articulation, correct?

Anyone with experience running these, I'm curious how its gone.

You are correct in your thinking of added articulation. Although I’ve heard you actually want shorter links in the front but have seen a lot of contradicting thought behind shorter vs longer. I do have these links can’t say that I love them and can’t say I hate them. Also can’t tell if they added much articulation but the butt dyno likes to think they did. I did have loud clunking from them for awhile and figured out that they needed to be torqued to spec. Sometimes the rear ones are squeaky other times they are not. Also still have an unanswered email from mstudt from months ago and would like to see more directions sent with the links because it’s just parts in a box and a good luck figuring out how they go on. It’s not rocket science but I still have some spacers that I didn’t use that left me scratching my head as to if they are set up right. I bought these because my stock links were shot and wanted additional articulation. I do plan on upgrading to the ball joints when they come out I live in winter 7 months out of the year and feel they will hold up better.
