i've been browsing around for the answer to my question, but everything i come across has to do with swaybars and aftermarket equipment.
Can anyone tell me what the Center of Gravity Height is on the 2g gsx. i bought a cool little book called "Auto Math" and it explains how to find the answer but it requires having scales, and beingable to lift the front of the car 24in to caculate it. so obiously im not THAT intrested in know what the CG height is. but alot of other suspention forumlas require the CG height, so i'm hopeing somone can help me out here. im sure somone has done it, but probably not in stock fourm. but never the less. i would like to know the answer if somone knows. thanks

I don't know the CG to our cars. I'd like to know. That formula is badass, nice find. My car hasn't touched the ground in a few months, otherwise I'd be all for trying it out.
The whole body roll thing comes about with the CG above the point of traction and motion. Anyway, on most cars, a rule of thumb is 50 centimeters. With our weight distribution, it's also forward of the centerline.
If anyone wants to do this, that would be cool.
