5 out of 5 stars The best I've found   April 25, 2001
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

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.


4 out of 5 stars Good Source for Beginners   December 6, 1999
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I had no knowledge of how a suspension works or its parts until I read this book. Descriptions were pretty detailed and I understood them, so should you. Shocks, struts, springs, anti-sway bars, and even driving techniques. Gives you a page to help you tune your own car and examples of how you should go about this. Gave me everything I needed except a skidpad. The only downside is the fact it's a little outdated. Time to make an updated one.


5 out of 5 stars A very good technical description of handling theory   December 6, 1998
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Mr. Alexander provides a complete and concise overview of vehicle handling. Technical theory is explaned in a easy to read manner. Through the use of project cars he is able to provide examples that would be applicable to anyone. A troubleshooting guide is also provided to correct observed problems. A first rate book.
