Who's running straight centerlink on daily driver?

I wanted to see who all was running a straight centerlink on their daily driver and feel free to post your thoughts/feedback.

I just put one on mine. So far everything seems good and I haven't noticed a loss in my turning radius.

Been running one for a few months now... Go back and re-check all your bolts... I didn't and ended up finding out a couple were loose after the front end started cracking and clunking... other than that no problems here...

That's a good reminder...I've been checking them though! Did you end up having any damage?

I think its pointless to run a straight centerlink on a DD.

I run one. Only is weird and different when I turn full lock and steering gets a little weird. Other than that I drive 12 miles a day.

I agree with brian on this one. I have one on my DD and I don't like it. I also didn't like my stock one popping when i'd leave the line with anything more than 7psi of boost. If I did it over I'd just do braces.
