but a copy of Herb Adams suspension book. If your a computer guy, buy a copy of "suspension geometry pro" Knowledge is power, and it is way cheaper to do it right the first time.

Thanks for the tips on that. I've got a notebook with all of my scribbles on those, and Herb's book is sitting next to my bed. That computer program sounds great, I'll pick that up and start playing with that. Its a huge help, so thanks for the tips, I'm sure I'll have more questions along the way, but its a great place to start learning more.
