Default Spring Spacer related... PLEASE HELP ASAP....

HEY ALL,
i parked today next to my friend w/a MY01 s2000 in school and his car is way lower than mine...
we did the finger check and i can fit my whole fist between my tire and fender (front and rear) and he actually can't...
HIS CAR IS NOT LOWERED
and i just jacked my car up to search for the spacers and i couldn't find them.
i could spiral all the way up and down and nothing was there???????????
i related to this thread for help

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...t=spring+spacer

and i can see what the spacer looks like... but no luck?????

my ride is pretty damn stiff over bumbs and stuff on the road...
what's the deal?
can anyone help or direct me better?
thanks to all that assist,
tommy

i just can't seem to figure out how i'd locate them properly?
i obviously have something in there cause i'm riding way too high...

S2000's from year to year sit differently. That's all I can do to explain it. My '01 car seems to sit higher than say... Sondra's '00 car. It just varies.

I didn't even have to jack up the car to see they didn't remove mine. Just turned the wheels all the way and looked with a flashlight. There they were. Then I jacked it up adn pulled them out. And then wrote a terse note to the dealer.

Tommy: It looks like you're really freaking out about this, so I'll go down to the garage and do the finger check on my Spa '02 real quick and get back to you...
