Hi everyone,
can you help me out, i need to find the weight distribution of the EK4 for UNI project i'm doing. i need to find it either from some written source or from someone in the field/specialist. i've been searching but the best i can find so far is just kerb weight.

also i need to find how much weight shifts to the front during braking.


Please no joking around this is a serious project. however i realise this is a forum so anything can happen.

Thanks heaps if it checks out i'll give you due reference.

The variables you'd have to take into account are near endless, and what variant of EK4 (manual, auto?), what are your tolerances of error? What type of braking, hard, how fast are you accelerating at the time the brakes are applied all can cause variations

Surely your assignment outlines an initial speed before braking is to occur and over what distance?

its a manual ek4, well i'm looking for more generalisation than exact. if anything just the weight split will do for now.
in terms of the variables i do realise that it is pretty much unlimited, so i guess that was not a good one to ask. i'll have to look a bit more into parameters first.

nothing exciting, just optimising the wheel on my car through modelling.
Does anyone know the weight split of the manual EK4?
i know that the 99 vti-r coupe is approximately 61/39. but thats no help to me.
