Recommend me a Suspension set up book
Hey all,new here.Anyway my mate is racing in the Irish touring car championship and while we gave her a basic set up last week for testing and his first race we want to get better at setting up suspension,particularly camber and how to know by temps what way to adjust the camber.
Also it would be great if it explained spring rates and how to select them according to weight Any ideas?Oh its a rear wheel drive Ae86 |

I bought Fred Phuns book How to Make Your Car Handle years ago and always found it easy reading, I have some more specific handling books from the States as well by Steve Smith but found them heavy going.

thanks man.we're gonna try get the suspension spot on with the coilovers in the car then we'll probably invest in a good set with a few different springs with different rates for next year
