A Practical Sourcebook5
A Great reference book - it reviews varying suspension designs throughout the ages, what works and what doesnt, and why!!

For anybody into motorsport, who wants to build, modify or tune their own suspension for increased performance, I thoroughly recommend this book.

I am an engineer, and this book will stay forever in my refernce library!

Competition Car Suspension: A practical handbook

Buy this book! I've read it 4 times cover to cover to insure I've sucked every last molecule of detail from its pages. One reviewer commented on excessive focus on the author's car. I disagree. What the author provided was an excellent & illustrative example of how to apply a series of calculations to a given design. For someone designing/understanding their own car, that's exactly what you need. This book is in the top 5% of 100's of technical references I've read over 30+ years.

Competition Car Suspension, excellent source.5
Staniforth is very knowledgeable and breaks things down so that it is easy to understand. His string computer is a fantastic cheap solution for those without the resources to use software for design. The newest edition really brings this book into the modern day.
