pitstop.net gets my vote. They have heaps of technical books and are in a pretty niche market so I say support them 8)

Just remember it was written 30 or so years ago... there have been suspension design improvements since! :wink:

Doc, as I understand it Vizard has has a number of updates over the years, are you saying he hasn't updated the suspension advice? :?

9yatah....i must agree that some of the info does seem a bit old and the one i bought is brand spanking new (not an old one thats been sitting around or anything)

but just cos its old....it doesnt mean its not right 8)

There's an awful lot of old stuff in it. And nowhere (in my recent copy) is there any info on revisions to it.. :?

I'm not saying it's wrong, just that what was right then may not be front line stuff now, and it is quite a bit older than his yellow book.

I agree it's still a good read, and worth having. :wink:
