Suspension modeling - anyone doing for Solo II?

Ok.. so I know Alex's background while at Kettering was in suspension systems or something like that... and I'm fairly sure he's commented on here a few times about modeling the suspension as well.

Anyone else doing actual measurements and modeling?

I'm after basic information, which yes... I could measure on my own. Mainly the suspension points of interest for a proper dynamic model. I unfortunately don't have a suspension modeling package like WinGeo3 or similar. I do, however, have a friend who's job is dynamic analysis in CAD and he is willing to put together a model for me. The hard part at this point is getting the actual points and mass measurements.

Has anyone here gone this far with the Kappa yet, or has most of the work been "feel" at this point?

Also.. anyone have pointers as to where to find a shop that can do corner weight measurements? I've got a local circle track and assuming there are some setup shops somewhere, but this is new ground for me. Somehow my bathroom scale doesn't seem anywhere near adequate (LOL) for this task!
