Treat this as a bit of BS. The weight difference using fibreglass pans over say a 20g steel one would be small so the if you could calculate the difference in the CofG I doubt whether it would reach a millimeter let alone anything significant. Then you look at the effect of moving the CofG on the roll couple and dive/squat and it would not be noticeable.

Now if you had a CF roof and Lexan glass...................................
