I drove mine for about 4000 miles when I got it with spacer on rear off side, 4 different budget tires on each corner and alignment WAY out - lucky to still be alive!

I just checked my car for spacers today. Thankfully, nothing on the springs. I ran my hand up and down as much as I could with the wheels off and am satisfied I'm spacer-free.

I found 1 on the front driver side just before I put the car away for the winter. I checked the other 3 three, but after seeing this, I will be checking again.

Why are these installed by Honda in the first place? What purpose do they serve?

Kept the car stable during shipping, supposedly.

Possible installed by Porsche owners to keep our cars from cornering at maximum.
