Can't learn suspension design without chassis design!
To what end? Got to ask why you're planning this work.
Are you looking to change the suspension pickup points? If that's the case, you'll need to do the math on suspension design to ensure that your suspension points will work. Carroll Smith wrote the definitive book on this subject (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0768011205/ref=pd_aw_sim_14_of_12?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2Z9CNKQKDTFVS2QX0DN8) If you're not going to change suspension points, a well built jig will allow you to replicate the pickup points and build a tubular subframe.
Regarding Roll cages, you'll want to follow the rule book of whatever racing you plan to do. A roll cage built without a rule book isnt a great idea. Different motorsports sanctioning bodies have different rules. If youre going to do different kinds of racing, you'll need to make sure you meet all of the requirements of all the rule books. This could require some creative thinking before you ever bend a tube. Even if you're not going to race (but then why the roll cage), it's best to follow a certain set of guidelines.
