ESP traction bar vs stock

All OEM 5th gens atleast come with radius rod i believe. I know the SH and base models are slightly diffferent setups. What is the real difference with the ESP traction bar vs the stock design ? It looks pretty similar to me besides adjustment, space and weight.

Yep, metal spherical joints that do not flex vs. stock rubber bushings. Plus you have space-saving welded steel tubing vs. cheapo OEM pressed steel that takes up the whole front end
