I agree with Tom on Race Car Vehicle Dynamics. It is a very technical book, but is the only book I have read that really goes into design and development. Be warned though, it's not always easy to read and understand.

I have to assume that "Chassis Design: Principles and Analysis" by the same authors would be just as good.
