Default transportation spacers on imports

Just a precautionary note, saw import S2k for 1st service dealer had left spacers in springs, these are used to increase ride height for delivery.( so doesn't ground coming off transporter)
Owner not aware, not the first one Ive seen either, worth checking if anybody has newish vehicle esp if import!.

Mine didn't, which made driving out of the showroom a tad fraught.

The Americans have had a lot of problems with the spacers left in by dumb dealers.

Any car bought from a Honda franchise should not have this problem.

I would have thought a good rule of thumb is to check if your car has the air deflectors in front of the wheels - my thinking being if they can be bothered to do this part of the PDI taking off the spacers should seem easy enough...

Even the best dealers can make mistakes, it's always best to be sure, just in case.
