5.0 out of 5 stars The best I've found, April 24, 2001
This review is from: Performance Handling/How to Make Your Car Handle Techniques for the 1990s (Paperback)
Practical and Understandable. Don Alexander has some kind of gift for making all of this stuff make sense. He explains what each suspension component does and how changing it will affect the car. The information is applicable to designing your own suspension from the ground up as well as modifying the car you have. He includes examples of cars he has tuned with good before-and-after comparisons. Common misconceptions are dispelled with logic and evidence, giving you exactly the information you need to make important decisions about your car.
