Chuckboy7,

I think the biggest advantage is they allow you to easily run more caster. (At least the ones designed for this purpose.) With the stock arms, you usually can only get a little caster before having no shims on the front control arm mounting bolt. (See David Possi's site for information on recommended caster settings.)

Also, because the area the around the bushing is smaller, they work well with the Guildstand modification, without needing to be grinded on to keep from hitting the frame.

Of course, they also look cooler to some. And I assume they are lighter.
