Longer link = lower roll center (It will give you more traction overall but you will loose some steering)

Shorter link = Higher roll center (cars is more reactive and rotates better)

Roll center has big impact on how you want the buggy to react in certain section of the track. "You add some you loose some" when changing your roll center. Rule of thumb you want your front and rear roll center as close as possible to have a good balance car...
