I'm not saying that the double wishbone isn't better, and I'm not asking why theoretically its better...but lets think about this for a second. If you have less rubber in contact with the road, and that was a problem, then theoretically understeer would occur (less traction in front than in back). Does your car have an understeer problem? If it does, why not just fix it with strut and sway bars instead of a totally different suspension? Changing suspensions on a street car is totally pointless, unless your building an old street rod and using something like a Model A. The only place where I can see something like that being feasible is in rally racing, where so much more suspension travel is necessary.
