Shot in the dark....CG location?

I'm putting together some dynamic vehicle models and equations and at this point I'm using an assumed value for the hieght of the center of gravity for our cars.

By using a lumped mass method and the curb weight and passener distribution ratios I can find the location of the center of gravity in relation to either axle easily. This information can be used further to determine axle loads under braking, cornering and acceleration conditions on grades or level ground. However, the height of the center of gravity with relation to the ground is still unknown. I'm using an estimate of 20".

So my question is, does anyone know of any published values floating around that could provide this information?
