You are misinformed. I suggest picking up a book like this one http://www.amazon.com/How-Make-Your-Car-Handle/dp/0912656468 - granted it's a bit dated but inexpensive and covers the basics of suspension setup. There is a difference bertween a lowered car that is setup properly and a car that is lowered to the point that handles worse than stock ride height.

I know it is a bit lazy on my part to just say 'pick up a book', but yeah... many have been written on the topic.

Maybe try THIS one. It gets consistently good reviews

Niki Lauda did a good job in his Art and Science of Grand Prix Driving

How to Make Your Car Handle is a much more exhaustive guide to suspension geometry if you really want to learn about it.

u/GabLeGrand · 2 pointsr/carmodification

yes indeed about the suspension! And actually i already have a book that is well reviewed in my amazon Shopping Cart that i can't wait to get my hands on.

The classics all still apply. The Carroll Smith "xxx To Win" series, Van Valkenburgh, etc. This is also a good place to start: http://amzn.com/0912656468

My team bought the LMP cars from Lola, so a lot of the basic geometry was pretty well baked in already. And obviously LMP cars don't have tube frames. The last time I participated in building a racecar from scratch was Formula SAE and that was um, I'd rather not admit how long ago. I'm probably not a great resource for you. Is there a subreddit for homemade racecars? I know a lot of the SCCA sports racers tend to be homemade, but it's been years since I've followed that either. If you start a homemade racecars subreddit, I'll subscribe to it.

That's a good book. As is the whole Carroll Shelby 'to win' series. I also have Fred Puhn's book How to make your car handle http://www.amazon.com/How-Make-Your-Car-Handle/dp/0912656468/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1381582940&sr=8-2&keywords=puhn . It a bit older but still has a lot of good information.
