New Evo IX suspension spring spacer...help!!

Guys I just released my EVO IX from the container yesterday. The car had these suspension spacers still installed. Do I need to remove them? Can I see some pictures of suspensions. These are photos of the fron suspensions only. The spacers are only in the front suspensions.

Help Please!!! Thanks.

P.S. Will post pics of my old VIII (not so old! 5000 km) and new IX together later.

YES take em offf....ur car will wonder all over the road with those and make the ride a bit bouncy....they put those there solely for transporting the car not to damage any part of the suspension......

Yes! For the love of God, remove those immediately! It will not only be the harshest ride you've ever known, it's potentially dangerous to leave them in. If you jack up the car a small amount (not so much as if you're removing a tire) and those blocks should be able to be pulled right out.

from what I understood, those are used when shipping the cars, when they get inspected by the dealer those are removed... so yes take em out!

thanks guys... I jacked up the car a little bit (like evoCS said) and the rubber spacers came loose. Now, the ride is what it should be--incredible!!

Try and get a free oil change service or something from the idiots at the dealership that left them in. Even if not i would still complain and let them know.
