Suspension setup guide

Anyone got a link / pdf to a good suspension setup guide? Just got the 4 wheels on the chassis & want to get things adjusted correctly, or at least make a start.

Don't bother trying to get it right until the car is finished.
First, set your ride height roughly.
Next, use a corner weight gauge to get your corner weights right. You will need to have your tank fueled (if you are tracking the car, you may want to do this with less fuel than a road tank holds) and yourself in the drivers seat or someone the same weight as you etc.
Adjust your camber settings and finally toe in.
Then recheck the whole thing again.
Drive the car and see how it handles.
Remember that suspension settings are a compromise, so expect to adjust every thing a few times before you are happy.
Someone will be along to give you the right settings for your car!
