When I was a drag racer, I read Corky Bell's book called "Maximum Boost" which gave me an excellent understanding about the fundamentals of engine working and turbochargers.
Is there any similar book where I can learn the fundamentals of suspension tuning for cars?

Recently finished reading this book... immensely helped in becoming a better driver. Tires are probably one of the most (if not THE most) underrated performance attribute of a car.
