Black,
Rex suggests the type of suspension is of little consequence, providing it keeps the wheel dead flat at all times: eg, cruising, breaking, cornering etc.
Having said that, He believs that the double wishbone offers a slight advantage because when designing a system from scratch (eg a Clubman or Whatever) The arms can be oriented to add or remove camber from a wheel as a car rolls onto/off of its suspension.
Saying that, Old Mac Pherson and his farm struts are the more easily tuned of factory systems.
Installing coil-overs in a double wishbone is too of little consequence as the arms remain in their spot.
However when the ride height of any car is altered, so too is the roll centre's of the wheel.
Big, tricky area indeed, suspension is.
Rex
