Ever since I took my car home. I noticed when I would fully locked the wheel to either side. The suspension felt like it was binding.

Living in MN the roads are still nasty. Today while I was hosing down the wheelwells and I noticed these orange blocks.

I have 260 miles on the car. Have these caused potentional damage to the Suspenion/Alignment? I almost don’t feel like taking it back to this dealership. The tech had over inflate the tires to 45PSI and now this.

I’ve searched on the forum and looks like I’m not the only one owner that had this issue.

Probably no damage. Those spacers are supposed to be removed by the dealer but amazingly, they often aren't. I think the Type R may be the only Honda to ship with those transport spacers so maybe a lot of dealers are clueless?

Yeah it's not uncommon to see techs miss this on PDI. The S2000 also had spacers between the spring coils as well.

yea it was a common issue with the s2k lol sounds like the car was not pdi
they over inflate the tires during shipping because they strap the cars down.
theres cases where people found the spring spacers still on the s2k after 100k lol

so dont worry the car is fine with them on
