There is one thread in this section on suspension from MADMAN.

I would love to do a "crash course writeup"
I will do it when i get back next week tuesday 12/27(with the family now) and all my books are at home.
BTW "Racecar Vehicle Dynamics" is the Bible for suspension geometry/design etc. If you are at all interested in suspension design, i suggest you get that book.

JK
Borders bookstores have a couple of decent books on the subject. One is by Arrt Morrison, and I have the other one. I'd say both are pretty good & talk about different types of racing application.
Dick Guldstrand has a lot written too but I've never seen it in a book.
The theory can get very complex, but ironically it seems to be the simplest set-ups that work the best on the track. There are so many ways to accomplish the same result.

That book is a little pricy ($99 bucks on amazon) but all the review on it say it is excellent.

(And even though I read every word at least 3 times while editing it, there's lot's of it that I still don't understand.)
