Just got back from having mine done - if they have the right equipment it should include the specs for the S.

I believe the manufacturer specs are listed in teh Tech FAQ so print a copy and take them with you just in case!

AFAIK The ones "typed" into the FAQ are for the my04 and above. (Could be different with 17" wheels??? )
It's the settings on the scanned document that you need. (the one that we can't see because the effing site is screwed )

Good point just raised there..........I've got 18" wheels and just had car lowered on Eibach springs. Just waiting for springs to settle down then will be taking car in to have geo settings done as per FAQ for an '01 model.

Does having 18" wheels and/or aftermarket springs affect the geo settings that I should aim for???. Will the ones in the FAQ still apply????.

Appreciate a quick response on this as will be getting it done in next few days!.

IIRC
Not if you haven't changed the rolling diameter
FAQ has two settings standard and optimum - go for optimum!
