Longacre Racing Online -- Tech Article "Center of Gravity Height"

I hope to get onto some scales soon so i can work out where iam right now.

One thing i have noticed is my car appears quite fast/snappy during transition from a drift one direction to the other. I guessed this was probably down to having stock rear lca back on the car instead of the godspeed, that and the 40mm corrected front hubs, have probably messed up the roll axis for me.

This probably isn't as accurate as doing it another way, but this is a super simple COG calculator for the front of the car:

cgh.xls

You need scales though for sure.
