You dont have the same constraints as a macpherson strut, or a 5 link. As long as you keep the lower arm parallel with the ground you are in good shape. Also the biggest problem with 5 link is binding and the arms working against each other.

Only problem is Double a-arm set ups is they are really only on open wheel cars or custom racing cars. There are practically no road going cars with double a-arm suspension, unless you look into ariel atoms and other such small car manufactures.
