Thumbs up Geometry on 04's

So I am trying to work out if there is any difference or benefit to applying the 99-01 optimum geo to an 04 car?
Any one had the geo done on a 04 shape?

I've been asking a related question and apparently the 04 requries a different geo because the rolling radius is different. I don't know if it's true but I've heard several people say that the 04 would require 245/35/17's to match the rolling radius of the 16's

We had a chat about this yesterday over lunch.
I need to have the Geo done when I get the tyres done......
Will go for the standard 04 setup. Trust me it won't hold you back

The suspension set up is different Mike and so the 99-01 Optimum geo is not the one for an 04>

That's what worries me. We need the official settings.

Think the septics have found them?

Well on Anglesea I could match any other S2000, but I welcome more challengers. I will remain stock to help any would be challengers.

I knew they were in the FAQ but I am curious to know if any one has had any different set ups or if they can be a applied to a car with 18" Volks on!
