suspension tuning
 
Is it just me or does suspension tuning seem vastly more complicated than engine tuning. Does anyone know of any good comprehensive sites/books on the subject? :confused:

You just keep tweaking till you get what you feel comfortable with. Keep the settings that suit your driving style and road/track conditions. :D

That would be my approach....

G-force has published a manual. It "explains the RX-7's inherent suspension problems and how to solve them in a stepwise fashion. Optimize shocks, alignment, geometry, sway bars, ride heights, brakes, limited slip options and much more. Drawings included."

I don't have a copy but I have heard nothing but good things about G-force.

Yes Jim S. book is gold! But if your looking to learn about suspensions there are good books on the subject. For good basic stuff look for a book called "How to make you car handle" by Fred Puhn (published by HP books). Excellent reading. Also the Carroll Smith books are good but a bit more technical reading.

I have to agree with Carl, those are the two to get. The $75 for the G-Force manual may seem steep, but if it saves you from buy just one wrong part it will save you money in the end.
