H&R's 29844-1 Sport Spring is a lowering spring set for the 1991–1995 Acura Legend KA7/KA8, aimed at drivers who want a lower stance and tighter body control than stock hardware provides. The manufacturer's listing shows approximately 1.5 inches of front lowering and 1.4 inches at the rear. H&R builds its sport springs progressive when the application allows it, so the rate is meant to firm up cornering without making daily driving harsh. Owners on user forums have called H&R and Eibach strong options for the price, around $250, which makes this kit a practical step up from stock geometry without the cost of coilovers.
The real case for this kit is in the handling and the fender gap. Lower springs shift the center of gravity down and reduce roll, and the stance closes up the wheel-well gap that stock Legends show. Owners on user forums also warn that stock shocks can become bouncy on lowered springs and the stiffer rates put extra stress on them over time, so budget for dampers at the same time if your originals are aging. Pairing these springs with performance struts is the path most owners recommend for lasting control.
H&R lists this kit for the 1991–1995 Legend KA7 and KA8 chassis, but trim-level coverage can be unclear, so verify your submodel and VIN with the manufacturer before ordering. Search terms enthusiasts use include "91-95 Legend KA8 sport springs," "H&R 29844-1 install," and "Legend progressive lowering springs." Installation requires removing the struts, which is where most DIY risk sits.
The manufacturer lists them for the KA7/KA8 Legend from 1991 to 1995. If you are unsure whether your trim is covered, confirm with the manufacturer before ordering.
Per the manufacturer, H&R springs install the same way stock springs do. If the spring is the same at both ends, the closer coils go up; if it tapers, match the factory orientation.
Owners on user forums report that stock dampers can wear out sooner and ride poorly once lowered, and many suggest replacing them at the same time to avoid paying for the labor twice.
This is an intermediate-to-advanced job because the factory springs are under load and must be compressed to remove each strut. Owners on user forums recommend a spring compressor that locks, tightened in equal turns on each bolt, and they stress checking that the tool is fully seated before compressing. Work through all four corners, match the spring orientation to the factory setup, and schedule a four-wheel alignment once the car settles at its new height. If you lack a compressor or torque wrench, professional installation is the safer choice.
