By the way, I just found out that the laws for rear taillamps is incredibly lax...they're allowed to be at a minimum height of just 15" off the ground!!! WTF? I wonder why no manufacturer has taken advantage of this to drop the tail (and improve aero), and then relied on a 3rd higher mounted brake light for safety.

Sorta draw lines that project the control arms into space to where they intetsect. Then draw a line from the tire to the intersection. Where that line crosses the center of the car is ~ the RC (it moves as suspension does).
Don't know what to do if the arms diverge though... usually they converge and point more down.
Parallel arms (not sure if they have to be equal and horizontal too) put the RC on the ground.
