rear axle weight = 1808 lbs
wheelbase = 89.4 inches
X = distance between center of gravity and center rear wheels
1808 X = 1168(89.4 - X)
Solve for X
X = 35.087 inches, which is pretty close to the base of the hand brake in the center console.

Does 'gear oil' mean the auto transmission fluid in the C2 tip? or is that something else?
also, how do I take off the glove compartment lid? It's separating and I'd like to re-glue it back.

Hockenheimr,
Why the concern about the C2 CG? There are 4 lift points on the car. What kind of lift are you talking about?

Those trim rings are for H1 and H4 lenses. What lenses do you have? In the US, the cars came from the factory with H5s. I suspect that's how they came in Canada too. If you have H5's then no these will not work.
By the way, if you have H5's, I recommend you consider upgrading to H4's. They provide much better lighting.

Suspension question!
I am wondering what suspension is compatible with my '89 C4, or can be fitted with minor modifications. I have heard that the later C2s have a larger lower mounting bolt hole and it can still be used in the earlier C4 with an adapter sleeve.

Dreamstate. The rear shock towers on a "later c2" are the same for all the models. They changed the shock tower mounts to be lower some time in late 90 so that the convertible tops would drop a couple inches farther down.
So basically, you just need to know if you have the old or new shock towers and then choose coil overs accordingly. The rest of the decisions for suspension and setup are the same.
If you don't have it, buy Adrian's book the 964 companion...

How does everybody's brake pedal feel. Is it hard-ish like the clutch, or fairly light? Been driving with a bad booster for so long, that it just feels, "too light" despite bleeding the system twice already after also changing the master cylinder.

Just give me a heads up prior if you are trekking out, so I can make sure to be there...
