Hi, I am just wondering has anybody ever calculated the centre of gravity on an st205?

Could do with it for my assignment at university as I am doing it on my st205, I'll then be able to calculate the roll centre and then determine what kind of body roll and how well developed the suspension is in comparison to the car. I can calculate roll centre but not centre of gravity as I'm fairly sure you need scales and need to be able to lift the car a certain amount to calculate it accurately.

So if anybody has gone this in depth and has recorded it could you please send it to me?

Cheers

If you have access to scales you can calculate the cg by raising one end and finding the weight change.
