Best Chassis Design Books ???

[krausewich]

Hi Guys,
Getting ready to dive into my custom chassis and I was looking to get a popular opinion on some of the best chassis books available. I've read the Herb Adams Chassis book... but looking for something a bit more comprehensive as far as vehicle dynamics (Roll Centers, Center of Gravity, Anti-Dive/Anti-Squat, Formula's, etc...). Any advice ??

Thank you for all your help!
Mike.

Steve Smith has a lot of good ones. There's two of his I reference a lot, Advanced Race Car Suspension Development and Paved Track Stock Car Technology. Herb did the VSE Cobra backbone chassis, that design is worth a look. Good luck and keep us posted.
