See if your public library has a book called "Race car suspension design", I'm not sure of the author but it's a really good book.

What kind of information do you want to know?

Do you want to know what the difference between a roll axis and king pin inclination or do you want to know what parts are available for your car.

see
www.eng-tips.com if you have specific technical questions there 100s of answeres there.

If you are talking about a First Gen., spend $75 and buy Jim Susko's Setup Manual for fisrt gens. You will learn about suspensions, the streagths and weaknesses of our cars, and how to make them stick. Jim is a SCCA National Chap in a first gen and you can find out more at g-force (http://www.gforceengineering.net/).

The book wil save you money in the long run.
Best of luck
