I'm trying to learn about the fine details of chassis and suspension setups. As in things like spring rates, roll bar rates, etc.

I know the basics, as in how they work, but I'm trying to learn how adjusting things in different ways effects vehicles.

Also trying to learn what all the racing terms mean and how to identify them, things like "snap oversteer" and all the other terms I keep seeing.

I tried howstuffworks.com which is usually great, but it only provided a so-so primer on the stuff.

Anyone got a link where I can start learning?

Thanks,
Jason

 

At a certain point, you're better off paying for books than trying to find this stuff on the internet.

Look for Carol Smith's books on Amazon, and if you're interested in learning a bunch more than what they offer, look into RCVD or some of the other SAE stuff.

You can find quite a few titles archive searching this forum.
