Castor adjustment / control is the advantage.

On a road car - not really worth it IMO.

They replace ARB in it's caster control function, not in anti roll function.

if you want the compression struts you will probably also have to think about getting the other bits too, front mounted arb with the drop links, adjustable tca's, strut tops and coil overs

that way you can do what you want with the positioning of the front wheels, and if you say it's not for the road, then you are probaly going to get the best use out of it on the track
