Are there any books or literature out there that describes suspension layouts on race cars and just about everything that can be associated with suspension. I know it doesn't sound very specific but I'm really interested in the engineering of suspension and want to learn more about it.

A great starter book is, How To Make Your Car Handle by Fred Puhn. < A little less theory with more practical stuff. I also have the Carroll Smith books of which Tune To Win is good.

Thanks guys, i got my hands on the Tune to Win by Carroll Smith and How To Make Your Car Handle by Ferd Puhn. I've read so much already and know so much more than I did before. I may feel like I have already have learned a lot but I know I've got along way to go.
