I am trying to calculate the effects of changes to suspension geometry and spring rates etc, and have been able to use the various Porsche manuals for track measurements.

However I cannot find any reference to the location of the centre of gravity for a standard 931. Has anyone measured the COG on their car, or have estimates from other people?

This value is useful in things ranging from lateral load transfers (for spring and sway bar rates) to the best location of accelerometers.

Thanks in advance.
John
