I have just read through Mark's new suspension book.

http://www.amazon.com/Make-Your-Musc.../dp/1934709077

I think it is likley the most accurate and relevant body of work I have seen yet. While the degreed suspension engineer may have some corrections to make, the other 99.5% of us will be able to glean a large amount of knowledge that will improve our cars. I continue to include myself in that list because, although I do understand the concepts he has brought forth in this book, it served to remind me of their relevance and importance. It never hurts to brush up!
The data that Mark has included in this book is all available in a variety of hardcore engineering books and other reference material. What makes this book special is that he has sifted through all that to bring us information that is useful in the real world. I am going to make it required reading for my sales/tech guys, and highly suggest that anyone with an interest in improving the overall performance of their car invest in this book as well.
Nice work Mark, truly nice work!

Ordered mine this weekend. Here's the message. I guess that is really not that far away.

"Shipping estimate for these items: March 9, 2011 - March 11, 2011".

Talking BombsAway!

Just bought my copy. Wish I did it when I first saw this thread... As they take a lifetime to ship to Australia (when it REALLY shouldn't).

Really looking forward to reading it in-detail.

Got a rubbery budget of $10-15k, to make my 2nd gen do more than straight-lines. Wheels, Tires, Brakes, Suspension. That money was NOT easy to come-by, and mostly due to AUD vs. USD changes.

I know it can be done, but it'd be nice without a side-serve of "tight-ass!" abuse from forum users worldwide
