I think the Mendeola double wish bone set-up is miles better then the ball-joint bug front suspension.

I agree with Rob. Short wishbones mean that for relatively small movements the geometry can change excessively. Longer wishbones operate over a smaller angular movement keeping camber under greater control. Also the reaction at the pivot points on longer wishbones is much les than with their shorter cousins meaning that flexible pivots like poly bushes have much less to do and the heim joints last longer.
I also agree you Wally, that the Mendeola double wishbone set up is infinitely better than twin trailing arms but also much better than Red9's design.
