Without having done it myself, but having reasonable general engineering knowledge, the offset links (as in the KLC139 catalog picture) would be a good solution if you retain those bars. Remember the forces are taken through the centre lines of the ball sockets, it doesn't matter which way the studs point, it looks like the ball joints would be more vertical if installed like that. Just watch that it will affect the height of the end of the sway bar, so check for clearance at the top of the travel arc.
However, it does look like they may not be the correct bars for that model.
Also, being adjustable, make sure the car is sitting level with the weight on the wheels, and adjust the length of the links so that neither one is loaded, ie, no tension on the bar.
Just my 5 cents worth.
Cheers.
