Customer Review: waste of paper
This book is pretty much garbage. Useless. A lot of generic ramblings with no substance whatsoever. It tells you very little about desing and setup of suspension. The only somewhat useful part if in the chapter about the shock absorbers, and even that is a reproduction of a Koni chart. The rest is, as I've said before, generic stories, about English formulas and Formula-1 of mid-80s. Which might be an entertaining reading but tells you nothing about how to develop the suspension for your car. Even if you race a formula car, there is nothing for you in this book, much less if you race a production car. Get a Puhn's book instead if you're interested in the suspension design.
Customer Review: priceless photos of race car suspentions
This book was worth the purchase for the photographs within alone. It also gives you a great overview of suspentions, perfect for those that are interested but don't want to be droned down by the specifics. It doesn't really get into geomety, but thats where "tune to win" comes in handy.
Another good one is "race car engineering & mechanics" which goes into more detail and is probably a better book. I really love the pictures in this book though... If your planning on actually building a car you'll still need "tune to win" along with either one. as for "Race Car Vehicle Dynamics" that ones still on the wish list($)...
