I built and raced my car for the first 3 or 4 race days with gull wing arms and it was ok but the rear ride height was really low when you tried to get the rear drive shafts to level out as I adjusted the ride height.

I then changed over to the 521 arms and I noticed a difference in just ride height right away. It seemed to me anyway that the gull arms brought the rear of the car down too much and I think ride height on these cars, especially in the rear is critical to handling.

other than that I hear the 521's calm the car down and give you better roll center speed. More testing this weekend.
