Anyone on /o/ do any serious suspension tuning? I am looking for some additional sources on shock tuning and selecting a compression/rebound damper rate. So far I have only come up with a few things via Google. Most of it is all either very general or specific to certain vehicles. I am looking for something to plug variables into.

I have High-Performance Handling Handbook by Motorbooks Workshop. You can try to calculate it but I think you are better off starting with what other people commonly use and adjust from there by trial and error.

Thanks. I think I remember seeing that book in my Grandpa's stack of old racing books. I will have to ask him about it. I have some chassis fabrication books, Herb Adams books and SCCA books, but most of them gloss over fine tune/shock selection because it is often so car specific.

I think it is one of the hardest things to tune on cars, every change you make to driving geometry impacts on every other variable, so you can spend a long time going around in circles for little gain.

I still need to corner scale it before I actually buy any parts. I am just bored so I am planning/dreaming a bit.

The guy that writes those books is a grade-a douchebag. I have Engineer to Win, and he's condescending as fuck all the way through. Good informational source, though.

Carroll Smith, perhaps?

If you guys haven't found the torrent by tomorrow, I'll toss the book on Megaupload.
