suspension geometry

Anyone have any good links or suggestions for books on how to setup the suspension for various driving styles? such as differences between drag and road racing.

Those are all very good book, the range from 900 page books cover every aspect of vehicle dynamics, to fairly short but informative books. also a few of those are $100 books, so you might look at them , and figure out which ones might work for you
