Kai,

Try these two booksellers:

Bookfinder.com
   http://www.bookfinder.com
      - searches: Advanced Book Exchange (ABE), amazon.com, Bibliocity,
        Bibliofind, BookAvenue.com, Powells, YourBooks.com

Deal
   http://media.dealtime.com/books.html
     - does a search and then a comparison of prices across many of the 
       online bookstores


I've seen the following 6 books as recommended reading for suspension 
information. I have the first 2 and would definitely recommend them.
Anyone who wants to increase their knowledge should definitely get
these 2.
