Dec 1st, I purchased my 03 with 5336 miles on the odometer only to findout a few weeks ago that they were never removed during dealer prep. I can't believe how much smoother the ride is now not to mention the car sits much nicer.

Picked up my '07 this past Thursday and the first thing I did was check for them. Sure enough, there they were. All 14 of them.

I guess I was wrong about dealerships figuring this out.

I'm left wondering how many people have upgraded their suspension because they didn't like the "stock" handling, which was fouled up by having the spacers still in place. We have at least one guy here who never drove the car without the spacers and is upgrading, and I'll bet there have been others.

Wonder how many owners have bought, driven, then sold their S2000, without ever experiencing the great handling the car has after the spacers are removed? To me that's a sad thought, so hopefully it's rarer than hen's teeth.
