Center of Gravity Height
Anyone ever measure your CG height. If so could you post your height and setup.
ie lowered/FB/FC/FD.
I have a stock First gen and wanted an idea of the actual height. Can't find anything by searching here or google.
Thanks
Chris

Guessing is useless. Here's how to figure center of gravity height for certain with scales and a jack:

I have measured it for my car. However, the result was not reliable and way too high. I think it calculated to 40" or something. I'm not sure what went wrong. It is not easy to measure. It is kinda scary actually.
I guess about 20". As Damon said this is essentially useless.

ok thats a good link posted above, yes guessing is useless and wow 40", somebody must have screwed the math or measured incorrectly? Either way we're no further ahead.
I have no access to scales, hopefully someone with an accurate measurement can post what their car was.
Thanks for the replys so far.

Bringing this one back from the dead, does anyone have a value for the height of the center of mass for the any of the three RX7 models?
I'm specifying my brake setup for a FD.
Thanks, Jonathan
