Aftermarket endlink advantages

I have my BC racing coilovers installed and they came with aftermarket front endlinks. I didnt install them and kept the stock ones but what are the advantages to aftermarket ones?
Thanks

Advantages:-adjustable!
-stonger than the oem!

the stock enlinks are not adjustable and when you use them with coilovers they have a chance of hitting your control arm
