    Hi
    Another technical chassi question: Anyone that knows the CGH for the 355? I know how to calculate it but it is rather complicated and I just wanted to know if anyone has don this or know the value for a standard 355.

    If you are interested in what this is, take a look at this link: http://www.longacreracing.com/articles/art.asp?ARTID=22

    Yes :) Especially if you want to do calculations on springs AND sway bar combinations...

    I actually tried to measure this about 6 years ago with the car on the scales. We got the car up on its side (1 foot) but the change in weighting per side was not sufficiently accurate to get a good read on the CoG.

    Somewhere in the 18"-22" range, or about 1"-1.5" lower than a C6 Vette at the same ride height.
