herb adams "chassis engineering" its a good place to start. then you can expand from there. It gives you enough knowledge to be dangerous.

on a side note i saw your welds, amazing!

Race Car Vehicle Dynamics is an amazing book - hardcore.

I use three books...

"How to make your car handle" by Fred Puhn.
"Tune to win" By Carroll Smith.
"Chassis engineering" by Herb Adams.

These three will pretty much cover it all. And if not just make it up and write a book :lol: JR

I bought it for my son - he was building a rock crawler.

Someone mentioned a Carroll Smith book. I have Prepare To Win - good book. I have read that all of the Carroll Smith books are supposed to be very good. He has a suspension design book that may be less 'engineerish' than the Milliken book.

For suspension - Carroll's Tune to Win is a good basic book. If you want to get into more advanced stuff, Gillespie's Fundamental of Vehicle Dynamics has pretty much everything you'll need in it. RCVD is an outstanding book, but a very hard read for someone starting out.

Gillespie's - FoVD - http://www.sae.org/technical/books/R-114
