I'm sure Google would have it. My work involves motorsports and I've done this everytime my team changes cars I already have an excel sheet built in.
I'm so confused, i would think the noise in the measurement of the change of the projection of the CG on the horizontal plane, when raising one of the axles by a couple of mm, would more than wipeout any of the calculation of the location of the CG on the z-axis... That might work on fulo scale cars but on something which is 250 mm wheelbase with partially sticky suspension that prevents you from measuring anything accurately better than 1%...

Can you share a couple of links that describe the method please?

I'm not saying I'm an non-believer, I just say I want to learn
