The new mounts allow you to adjust swaybar tweak really easy. Sometimes swaybars aren't perfectly flat, and these allow you to adjust for that. I check swaybar tweak by putting my car with no shocks of tires on a setup board. Then I lift up on one suspension, and see how much travel it takes to make the other arm to start lifting. Adjust the length of those links to make it equal.

I also adjust swaybar angle with this. You can lengthen the left and right links equally to get a little more angle on the swaybar. It makes it feel a little more progressive/softer when you have more angle, and linear/stiffer when it's more flat (the ballstud is tightened all the way down)
