Does anyone know any references I could use to learn more about suspension tuning? Any websites or anything? I know there are some good books out there but those could be hard to find some times. Thanks.

 

Here is a good book to teach you the basics about suspensions and tuning:

High Performance Handling Handbook

ISBN 0-7603-0948-5

Cool, Thanks. I'll look into that.

 

ok, I'll share my info...

the physics of racing online: (lots of reading)

I think I have some more on my other compuyer, but that shoudl occupy you for quiet awhile alone.

 

Wow, those are going to keep me occupied for a while. =) Thanks. That info is really going to come in handy.

 

two more:

"how to make your car handle" by puhl (or something like that). kind of old, but still very relevant. has step by step approaches...kind of a how to book.

"formula 1 technology"....new book, don't remember the author. not just suspension tech, but the whole shebang....engines, tires, susp., aero, computers etc. fascinating read, but far more theoretical, not a "how to" book.

good luck
