Stiffer, stronger, increased castor (better steering feel, more dynamic camber).

The only downside I can think of is that they move the wheels forward about 1/2", so if you're running huge wheels they may rub.

I ran 16x7" wheels with 205/50ZR16 tyres, with the M3 Control Arm Bush, they rubbed slightly against the standard wheel arch trims.
