My personal opinion is that I wouldn’t trust the Geo to anyone who wasn’t recommended to me by other S owners.
I think that comes down to Centre Graviy or WiM.. apologies if I’ve missed someone.

Assuming the bolts aren’t seized it’s worth few hundred quid to have the peace of mind that it’s been done properly.

This is based on a hazy knowledge that the factory geo setting for the S have changed twice in the S’s lifetime and that most people recommend something a little different to the S factory geo anyway and that the difference between a decent geo and a poor geo is night and day.

1 degree is massive, as in you'd probably spot from outside the car a wheel that has 1 degree more than it should. just ask Euclid.

If you're not interested in what the car is like to drive, then you're absolutely correct.
