15.7 ANTI-ROLL (SWAY) BARS
Vehicles may only exceed the allowances of 13.7 as specified herein.
Substitution, addition, or removal of any anti-roll bar(s) is permitted.
Bushing material, method of attachment, and locating points are
unrestricted. This does not authorize removal of a welded-on part of
a subframe to accommodate the installation, or the cutting of holes to
route the bar or links. Non-standard lateral members which connect
between the brackets for the bar are not permitted.
The bar may serve no other purpose which is not explicitly permitted
elsewhere herein. Components such as anti-roll bars and strut
housings which serve dual purposes by also functioning as
suspension locators may not be modified or substitued in ways which
change the suspension geometry or steering geometry, and may not
be installed in positions (e.g. upside down) other than that of the
original configuration.

Which one would it be? To use M3-style links on a non-M.

Allowed to change locating points.....

or is it changing the geometry?

Your ARB's do not serve as suspension locating devices, so you are free to change the mounting point. For an example of one that does, take a look at an E21 front suspension.

Early 92's came with the links to the struts, so in DSP you can run them.

See my post above. You're good to go based on what the rules seem to say.
