The main advantage is the uppers which are double adj. By that I mean you can loosen 2 jam nuts and turn a central sleeve to set the alignment. To adjust the Street Machine arms you have to remove the mounting bolt,turn the bushing end of the arm then put the bolt back in. Short answer,if you`re planning to set the alignment once and forget about it the std. arms are probably fine. If you plan to run track days or auto X etc. with it spend for the G-Machine ones and it`ll save you a ton of time and fuss. :) Mark SC&C

thank you very much for the info. i do not plan to do any track days, i am just going to drive the car on the road and to some shows. so from what you are saying i can just go with the street machine set up? thanks again.
