when the dealer gets the car there is a sticker or flyer in the car thats says, "WARNING, do not drive in excess of 10 mph with spring spacers in." i know mine did cuz i took it off when i bought the car, it was taped to the shifter.

I'm sure it did. I'm sure it affected the handling in a positive fashion as well.

I'd give my dealer hell about that by the way.

Give 'em hell

Give them the chance to earn your business back

Give them the "bird" if you aren't satisfied (and be sure to fill out that survey)


Learn to service the car yourself to save from dealer/service headaches. It makes your ownership experience much better.

Enjoy

in the uk we have some cars with metal fatigue and other problems when the spring spacers have been left in. go back to the dealer and raise hell about it and get honda themselves involved.

I wish someone would get an attorney involved and put the fear of God in these incompetent dealers. Imagine all the thought involved in producing a car of this caliber, only to have the dealer forget to take out the spacers. Incredible.
