It's just stronger. Less chance of breaking on hard cornering. They're also easier to adjust than a regular ol' sleeve type since they have flats or are hex shaped to accept a wrench.

I have the Hotchkis ones also.Very nice.
Makes toe setting easier,plus beefy design looks like it will last forever.
