I'm guessing 'avert incline' means 'anti roll' or SWAY BAR drop brackets.

I can see now, they bolt the chassis and the sway bar bolts to these.
but what the point.

With a lift your diff moves away from the chassis. So the swaybar is harder to hookup. This kind of fixes that issue.

They are front sway bar relocation brackets. With the front lifted, you may find it harder to get the sway bar to hook up, it will want to bind. We've found this with stock Vitaras arms and substantial lift in the past. The more the sway bar has to drop to reach the arms, the more the arm end mount won't line up as the sway bar is now too short (front to back) Hope that makes sense.
The spacers will bring the sway bar rearwards to compensate.
Steve.

You asked a question and you were given the answer, it is a sway bar relocation bracket used if you lift your vitara AND still want to use the sway bar.

Sierra's handle better when lifted without the sway bar...Mine did.

A 40mm lift will put a lot of pressure on the sway bar to the point that the sway bar limits suspension downward travel as the stock bar is not long enough to compensate for the lift and this stiffens the front end quite noticeably as the sway bar is always tight even on level surfaces. So my coilies handle like go karts on-road and tend to feel quite stable through corners rather than feeling like rolling over when you drive around roundabouts at 60km/h. The biggest differences were felt after addding an exo cage. The added weight up high caused the Sierra to flex up in corners even at slow speeds - much less noticable with a sway bar attached.

Without the sway bar dropped the front end is too tight in my opinion.. Makes the front understeer too much. Maybe being dropped its better?
But I have no issues without the swaybar anyway. Handles very well.

Coilers have much lower rear roll stiffness than a leaf car, so the sway bar might have a bigger effect on balancing the handling.
Steve.
(having said that, the Coilers I've been involved with had their sway bars pulled.
