I’m constantly scouring the web for reliable info on how to build a better engine, get better gas mileage/cleaner emissions/safer conditions, etc. and when I find a good source, I like to share it with y’all. My latest find is bookmark-worthy for DIY mechanics wanting a better grasp on how things work – Super Street Magazine’s archive of tech articles. Here’s 2 examples to get ya started:

Having the straightest wheel alignment will give your tires the largest contact patch as well as the most even treadwear. But when it comes down to having low offsets, big lips and wide wheels, you can’t always find wheels that will meet your fenders perfectly. Adjusting your camber is one method to adjusting your stance. But before you do that, you should know some of the basics to suspension and wheel tuning.
