Maybe a little bit? A good rule-of-thumb to determine if the book will help on your project is to ask yourself: does my vehicle use a rear axle that is driven by a driveshaft that is attached to a transmission? If not, the book is probably not going to be much help… Aside from the [...]
That is not how the book is written. If you read the first question in the list, it will explain more about how the book is laid out.
It does not, but as stated above, there are plenty of suspension theory subjects discussed which will crossover directly. However, the geometry targets will be distinctly different. Also, understand that “off-road” covers a very wide range of vehicles. Is the vehicle meant to be fast over the rough stuff like a Trophy Truck? Is it [...]
It does not. Volume 1 focuses solely on rear link-type suspension design and theory. The next book will focus on front suspension and independent rear suspension. Unfortunately, we do not have a projected finish date at the moment. However, Carroll Smith’s book ‘Tune to Win’ does cover front suspension design and is available in our [...]
Yes - absolutely! We even added a dedicated chapter just for coilovers. If you are wanting to design a suspension for a lowered daily driver, every suspension theory/concept addressed in the book will crossover directly. However, if you aren’t lowering your vehicle, the suspension geometry targets will change; how much they change is going to [...]
The fundamental goal of the book is to provide the information necessary for someone to design their own suspension based on the specific needs of the vehicle. The only way to accomplish this is to cover how suspensions work and what effects the individual components have on the final design. The book does this by [...]
