Default Just Found Rubber Spacer In Left Front Spring

46,580 kms later after a quick inspection i see the spacer still there on the front left spring

first thing tomorrow morning off to honda and making them take down all tires and remove and note for future reference in case of future repairs

thank you again Calgary Honda, Calgary, Alberta
f-ups by Calgary Honda:
1)Swirl marks on original paint, whole car.
2)Left the oil cap off after oil change.
3)Just found spacer still in front left spring.
4)Had to raise my voice to tell them that there really was a TSB for the spark plugs and I wanted them replaced

Note: Honda City in Victoria, B.C. has been treating me really great!

Outside of all of these things, the car runs awesome.

Yikes !! I will not take my car to anyone other than Steve Allen at Honda West, He is reputed to be one of the best. He is thorough, He is careful, He knows the S2000 in and out. Calgary Honda is just downright scary !!

Confirmed...Honda had removed the one rubber spacer which was so obviously visible. The S2000 repair guy was very surprised to see the spacer still there.

Awesome drive in and help me out right away service from Honda City in Victoria. The guy even remembered my last name which is a toughie.

What is the noticeable difference if any?

I can actually drink a cup of coffee now without it spilling all over the place.

What do these look like? I can't say I've ever looked that closely at my springs.

AND, they screwed them in using 4 different torque settings.
