It`s configuration allows for much longer upper links
While the physical length of the upper links is longer, the "effective" length is actually shorter. To find the effective length, you need to look at the component of the upper arm that lies along the vehicle centerline (i.e. front to back). In other words, how long is the arm in side view? Shorter. You have to keep in mind that the upper arms on a converging setup are doing two things at once.

and better antisquat
I'm not sure I have seen the actual figure for A/S on either setup, I have never seen it published (might just be looking the wrong place), do you know what the specific values are, Marcus?
