It stiffens the overall rear suspension by giving the shocks more leverage on the lower arm. Keep in mind that if you change the lower position and leave the upper one where it is, the initial compression will feel similar since the shocks will be more layed down. But they will progressively stiffen quicker and not allow the car to roll as much as when the lower shock mounts were mounted to the inside hole.

With past T1 models having more weight over the rear end, using the outer position kept the rear end more consistently stable. But with the FK05's slight front weight bias, the inside holes work fine.
