What is the benefit of new drives and new stepper motors?

Changing motors won't make much difference but the drives could make big difference to how smooth it runs and also less important the speed you'll get. Esp if you use digital drives which I fully recommend you do.

Hi
I have an eazi turn and have converted it to Mach3 used the original drivers and steppers works just fine, all I used was and interface board to take the printer port to the interface (can be found on E Bay) and connected the outputs to the original stepper drives, the spindle I did replace the spindle drive controller for a Sprint 180v unit and this is now controlled by another Interface completely isolated from the drive and the PC ... not to let out the magic smoke that all electronic components are made with!!
I will post some pics of the guts of my machine if that will help
Best regards
