does anyone on here read any good books that teach you how to make a car handle better??
things of pinion angle, spring rates camber and caster adjustments for better performance and things of those areas..

i have heard of herb adams book, and read a couple of reviews, but alot of people say that his books are geared more towards circle track nascar like tuning and not so much straight line or g force bleeding handling.. cool.gif

its starting to be winter and temperatures droping so before i get all the parts ready to install come the spring time( cinderblock garage with no heat and a ill sealing door :-({|= ) i want to research everything possible to make the car i desire. which is mainly a pro touring car.. dancin_banana.gif

I was in barnes and noble the other day and there was a book in the transportation section about handling. I didn't look into it I just noticed it was there. Maybe a quick look on the website might get you it. I'll let you know if I go back and look at it. It seemed like a basic handling book. Not something geared toward one thing like you said.

Thanks soooo much Mann. U frigging rock!!! That last one about pro touring is it. Once it's in stock I'm going to jump all over that like a black guy on a fat white girl.( No pun intended for those who are black.)
