Tune to Win – Carroll dives pretty heavily into the basics of A-arm suspension theory in this one. And while it may be more involved than necessary for some people, there is a lot of wonderful information in there for someone who is looking for information on designing their own A-arm suspension. Engineer to Win – While, once again, more involved than necessary for the majority of people, there are two chapters in this book that should be read by anybody who plans to – or currently does – fabricate their own suspension parts. Carroll does a really great job explaining stress risers and proper bolt use in a way that makes sense for even a casual builder. Student Pack – This includes both Carroll Smith books and the Air Suspension Design Book. Fair warning: you will have to take into consideration that the information in these books is geared toward race cars, but the theories are still relevant. -
**The Air Suspension Design Book is almost done** We should have inventory by the middle of December and are currently accepting pre-orders. In case you missed the listing, we are also offering the book in spiral-bound and hardback as a special order. So don't miss this opportunity to get one of those! They can be found here.Volume 1 – 3rd Edition **now with a chapter dedicated to coilovers/static suspension**
The first installment of the Air Suspension Design book focuses on airbags and rear link-type suspensions. The general concept for the book is on proper link geometry while defining some terms and diving into more complex concepts, like airbag theory, shock theory, and motion ratios. The book also features five vehicles with different suspension systems to help show how some designs lend themselves better to differing space limitations.
Please note that there is no universal answer to the question “What type of suspension should I install on my vehicle?” However, this book will help you make an educated decision for yourself.

**PRE-ORDER** The spiral-bound book is printed on heavier, glossy paper that not only lies flat, but the glossy coated paper will be much more resistant to greasy hands. The paperback and hardback versions are (hopefully) self-explanatory. PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING!!! We cannot provide a holiday delivery! The Spiral-bound and Hardcover versions will be available for pre-order until the end of December 2025, at which point an order will be placed with our printer. However, keep in mind that if there are not enough orders to justify printing them, you will be refunded for your order. The time it will take to have these printed varies, so we do not have a delivery date as of now. We will keep you updated as we know more. The paperback version has been ordered, so we are waiting for them to get printed and delivered - we should have them by mid-December. If you ordered a spiral-bound or hardback with a paperback, your paperback will ship with your hardback or spiral-bound order. If you want a paperback sooner, please place a separate order, and we will get that shipped ASAP.
