OK. Sorry for the delay. The site was down for a few minutes. On my '02 Spa #14 I can fit 3 fingers in front and back. I'm certain I have the spacers removed, as I've checked about 15 times now

Yup, on my 2002, I can fit about 2.5 fingers in the back and prolly around 3 in the front... I remember being worried cuz I read a thread where someone affirmed that you should fit no more than 2 fingers in the front... I guess it really depends on the model year, as I believe he was referring to a 2001.

There were (or are) 14 spacers. 10 in the front and 4 in the rear. They are easily detected and no wheel removal is needed. Turn your steering wheel all the way to the left (lock-to-lock). Look into the front of the drivers side and the rear of the passengers side. Turn the wheel all the way to the right and check the back of the drivers side and the front of the passenger side. The entire spring is visible.....On the rear just climb under the rear of the car and look.....no need to jack it up. If they are there you will see them right away.

Springs do settle over time, so maybe you have stiffer springs that are just not settling out as fast. 6k miles isnt that many miles. I wouldn't trip too much, but I would have a good dealer service dept look it over just in case. Good luck.
