Good books on suspension tuning??
 
For a long time I've really wanted to know how suspension adjustments affect the handling characteristics of a car. I know what the adjustments do, I just don't know well enough how this is seen when you're driving.

I want a book that will tell me what will happen to handling characterisitics in relation to front and rear sway bar stiffness, spring rates, high-speed and low-speed compression and reboud, and what all of the alignments do. I'm sure there are some good suspension guys on here that know of a really informative book on this kind of stuff.

And it is a free read.

Read Carrol Smiths books, very good books. Especially engineer to win, and for suspension: tune to win.
very good and easy read.
