Anyone have recommendations of a book to pick up to read to start learning what makes a good suspension "good" and why?
I find myself asking people what they think is a good mod to buy/install but I would like to go further and understand why said mods are good or bad. Topics I'd be interested to know more about are shock dyno's, how a sway bar helps, how shocks/springs/swaybars work together, roll centers, and center of gravity etc etc. Thanks for any tips! |
