Default Car Setup Information

I read Ross Bentley's Book 'Shocks for Drivers'. And now I am looking for more information on car setup/tuning.

Any suggestions? I'm open to learning about any and every adjustable parameter. A quick, easy to reference summary would also be most helpful.

Ross is hosting an online course on tuning your car: https://speedsecrets.com/tune-your-handling/

Not something you can put in your pocket but you might find it useful.

Great article on tuning with dampers and springs. Careful taking many of the summary guides as gospel as there are many variables often overlooked when trying to simplify setup advice.

The Carrol Smith books are always a good reference, 'Tune to Win', 'Drive to Win' etc. Even they have some information that can confuse if the context is not completely understood. Lots of conflicting advice out there.
