Ah, yes, migrating roll centers. Good luck!
Here's another two sites I find quite helpful.
http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/archiv...69619-p-3.html <-- great for explaining what roll centers do, though it's in the context of a 12'th scale pod car.
http://users.pandora.be/elvo/ <-- especially for shocks

Second really good reference source would be "Tune to Win" by a fellow named Caroll Smith. awesome book for chassis tuners. even has a model you can make in the back of the book for seeing what changes when you make adjustments.
Formula SAE required reading.
