I'm assuming they're like the endlinks that attach the antisway bar to the control arms.

If that's true they they should give you a more responsive car, and feedback. IE the sway bars will engage faster.

I think thouse links in the picture go on a civic. I could be wrong about the whole thing, but then someone will tell you the real scoop on this.

I'm no Honda guru but I believe that the links in that picture (EK4, 6, & 9) are rear camber adjusters for Hondas. Cusco does offer something similar that replaces the rear lateral links as does Noltec. I should be getting a couple sets of the Noltec lateral links in a few weeks.

Besides the adjustability. Will these links lower the weight? Does anyone know how much the stock trailing arms and lateral links weigh. How much could be saved with links/arms.

CUSCO adjustable lateral links and traling arms are great. Besides being pillow ball type (vs. stock rubber), they are adjustable. That is a great plus. See, with your stock trailing arm being FIXED lenght, when you lower the car, the rear wheels get pushed back towards the rear of the car. That changes the suspension geomentry and makes your car handle like poo. So, with CUSCO's, you can fix that. Also, they allow you to add mad camber in the rear, which is impossible with OEM ones and finally, your high speed stability as well as steering feedback and input will be dramatically improved.
