Product Details
The H&R Sport Lowering Springs (28500-1) are a premium suspension upgrade designed specifically for the 2026 Honda Prelude (BF1). Engineered to improve handling, reduce body roll, and provide a more aggressive stance, these performance lowering springs deliver an excellent balance of sporty driving characteristics and everyday ride comfort.
Developed to complement the factory suspension geometry and chassis tuning of the sixth-generation Honda Prelude, H&R Sport Springs lower the vehicle approximately 1.0 inch in both the front and rear. This carefully engineered reduction in ride height lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, helping improve cornering stability, steering response, and overall handling characteristics.
Manufactured in Germany using H&R's performance suspension engineering expertise, these springs are designed to work with the Prelude's original equipment suspension components. Their vehicle-specific design helps maintain predictable handling and comfortable street manners while providing a more planted feel during spirited driving.
Unlike universal lowering springs, H&R Sport Springs are engineered specifically for the Prelude's chassis characteristics, ensuring a balanced suspension setup that enhances the vehicle's performance without requiring a complete coilover conversion.
Whether you're looking to eliminate excessive factory wheel gap, improve cornering performance, or give your 2026 Honda Prelude a more aggressive appearance, the H&R Sport Lowering Springs provide a refined suspension upgrade backed by decades of motorsport-inspired engineering.
