I’m not here to argue, just giving facts. I’ve had spacers before on my old 3 wheeler. No matter how light they are, it’s still added unsprung weight

yes they do add unsprung weight. a few ounces. maybe a pound. not enough to notice. or matter.

Unsprung weight isn't the issue here.

There is a reason Honda and every other car manufacture on the planet builds vehicles with the front track width wider than the rear. It effects turn in and handling.

Running spacers on the rear for looks is pretty fawkin stupid and has a negative effect on turn in ability and handling. But at least it looks good... 🤦‍♂️

And if you took the spacers off it would handle and turn better. 🤦‍♂️

Some just want looks over function.
