Hi,

You could try "Race and Rally Car Source Book" type that into Amazon - very good but if you read it from cover to cover you'll end up with a chassis stiffness fetish like Liam...

AND

"Chassis Engineering - Herb Adams" - easy to read and Herbs a bit of a locoster - theres a great shot of him cutting car springs to lower some American v8 lawnmower or something somewhere in it!
