Does the '00-'01 have the EPS dummy light like the '02? Looking at this picture of a '00 it does not look like it.

[B]I went to the Kelly Bluebook site http://kbb.com and the information for the 2001 lists "alarm system" under standard equipment.

 

The 00-01 does have the EPS light - in that picture, it is because the system checks were already complete when the picture was taken.

 

Are the alignment specs the same? Can anyone with an 02 owners handbook check and report?

 

Luis, here are the '02 alignment specs:

Toe
Front: 0.00 in (0.0 mm)
Rear: in 0.24 in (6.0 mm)

Camber
Front: -0*30'
Rear: -1*30'

Caster
Front: 6*

 

ok, who has the '00 alignment specs for comparison?

This is getting really interesting...

 

OK, we've established that the alignment specs are the same. We have no idea if Honda changed the springs or the shocks. But the anti-roll bars or sway bars may be different.

If Honda reduced the front sway bar, then it makes it easier to break the rear end loose. This could be a good thing if it makes it more predictable. But I see that as a compromise. I'd rather have a larger front sway bar.
