better front suspension?

okay so i looked fullrace's s14 awd car and they did the double wishbone front suspension conversion. I'm not at all a suspension engineer/guru, but i have heard that this type of front suspension is somewhat better than what we have in our s chassis cars. What advantages does this suspension linkage provide over our independent strut-type front suspension? Question being would it be possible (not too difficult) to swap in the z32 double wishbone front suspension linkage into the 240sx? Has anyone done this before? Sure it would be something different, but i'm not sure it would even be worth the conversion, but perhaps it would lead to an even better handling car? I'm not into drifting so loosing steering angle wouldn't be that big of a deal if it meant i would get better grip/rigidity up front since our cars are known to be a little loose up front. I know that this would mean changing out spindles, shocks, swaybar and adding a few parts, but i know the lca on our cars is the same as the z32 minus the ball joint connecting to the spindle, and tension rods should also be interchangeable. doesnt seem like it would be al that difficult but i dont have the 2 cars side by side to see every detail.
