Default GT500 Front Sway bar has 2 holes on each side?

I am putting in a GT500 front sway bar tonight and I just realized it has 2 holes on each side of the sway bar. The hole towars the back of the car is in the same location as the GT sway bar.

The other hold is a few inches forward.

Can you use this hole to adjust the bar?

Seemed weird to have 2 holes if the forward one cant be used..

I seem to remember that the front hole was smaller, no? Too small to use and just makes telling them apart at a glance easier on the assembly line.

If it's much more than a couple of inches further forward, it would adjust the front bar way too stiff unless you do a bunch of things to stiffen the rear suspension up at the same time.

By itself - fine if you really do want heavy understeer, I guess . . .
