Adjusting? There is no adjustment.

That's what' I Thought I knew as well.
Bottomed out they are about the length of the solid ones I took out.

Those aren't stock sway bar links. Those are adjustable.... you'll want them to NOT be the same length. What you need is for one to be hooked up and have the other have no stress on it when you hook it up with you sitting in the driver's seat. That way there is NO preload on the sway bar sitting on level ground.

and when others get in the car you need to have your pit crew adjust them again, try to even out the weight. When you pick up the groceries and beer have you pit crew on call so they can adjust the sway bar so you can make it home...and have your pit crew follow you so they can set up the sway bar after the weight is removed from the trunk......

Is there even enough adjustment for track conditions?

The one real benefit to that style of end link is not the fact that they’re adjustable (though it is convenient), it’s the fact that the heim joints allow near full articulation preventing binding as the suspension moves through its travel. Worth it for that fact alone IMO.

I can't get my head around how they mount.

Only on their control arms. Rod end goes on the a arm
