they are made to counter balance the steering/suspension if the car is lowered.
heres a quote from club4ag i found ages ago that might help:
"Anytime you change ride height there are geometry changes (basically the angles of your suspension arms). Suspension geometry changes are things you cannot see but affect the cars over all handling characteristics, such as roll center. In a short sentence, the roll center is the pivot point in which the sprung weight of your car will roll, it is set by your suspension geometry and is hard subject to get into with out the help of some physics books. We must remember the laws of physics while working on cars, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Every suspension design (ie. strut, multi-link, wishbone, leaf spring) will absorb forces differently. What happens on the AE86 is that with strut type front, and 4 link type rear, the roll center changes a lot more in the front than rear, so to correct this and balance out the suspension we use an adapter to move the lower control arms down."
