Here are some good links related to suspension/handling, most of them from the same site (and there are more if you care to look!). I haven't read all of them, but the ones I have read are very informational. This might be a good sticky...

Suspension:
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/car-suspension.htm
http://www.carbibles.com/suspension_bible.html
http://www.monroe.com/tech_support/tec_whatisridecontrol.asp <-- good terminology page on the Monroe website

Tires:
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/tire.htm

Brakes:
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/brake.htm

Steering:
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/steering.htm

Traction Control:
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/28000-traction-control-explained.htm


Also, www.wikipedia.com has a lot of good info on it... so if you are unsure about something in these pages, check there and maybe it will be better explained.
