You could well be making the geometry worse rather than better.
Just going back to basics, if your uppers and lowers were of the same length and remained parallel during up/down movement, then when cornering, your wheels would remain parallel to the centre plane of the car, and the wheels/tyres would be at an unacceptable angle to the road (because of the roll of the vehicle). Hence in a 'simple' double wishbone setup, there are significant deviations to the arm geometry and mounting points to achieve a better compromise....so back to the comment that you would probably be making the situation significantly worse.

Cheers,
Glen
