Looking for books/websites on suspensions
Can anyone recommend a good site to learn more about car suspensions? I know the basics but would like to more about intermediate/advanced tuning. It seems all everyone does is lower their car and slap on some strut tower braces but I would like to know what to do beyond that.

i admit i never checked it out but when i was lookin for tyres on www.tirerack.com i noticed they had a suspension section. if you want to learn the principles then go to www.howstuffworks.com . apart from that try the manufacturers sites.

I am looking to learn beyond the basics of suspension tuning. I know you can lower your car, slap on some stiffer shocks/struts, get stut tower braces and thicker anti roll bars but I want to learn more than that. What other factors affect handling dynamics? How do you use tire pressures to modify oversteer/understeer? What actually is a double wishbone suspension and why is it superior? I feel rude just asking forum memembers to answer my questions, hence why I asked where to find more info. I don't mind doing my own research.

There are a ton of books which can teach you all those things, though it still takes time to absorb all the information. My favorites:
"Chassing Engineering" by Herb Adams "Car Suspension At Work" by Jeffrey Daniels "How to Make Your Car Handle" by Fred Puhn "Competiton Car Suspension" by Allan Staniforth
