Default LF specs: CG height, etc

Hey I was messing with a braking calculator for another car but decided to throw one together for the integra.

Has anyone calculated the height of the center of gravity for an Acura Integra. If so how low does the car sit and I would assume a race setup w/ cage, gutted, etc so numbers should be somewhat close. Or if anyone has ever been able to scrounge up the stock calculated point - I could just adjust it myself.

Thanks alot

Not sure where you would find that info. I thought maybe the frame repair chart in my 94 Helms manual would have something, or the page with all the exterior dimensions, but it does not.

oh and if anyone cares looks like my maximum front and rear braking force percentages (with 17" height C.G. just for kicks) are:

74.1% front braking
25.9% rear braking

Last thing im looking for to calculate the approximate braking i'm actually getting w/ my stock sized M.C, Calipers, Rotor sizes is the piston size of the front and rear brake calipers. - time for a new info request post.
