Default Hard to find 1992 LS Suspension Kit?

Anyone knows where I can find some Shocks and springs for LS 1992? My friend just got it and desperately needs to lower it. He is dancing all over the road with it right now? Cheaper the better, found some on google.com but hopefully some of Experts knows better than I do.

Thanks!

Suspension kits for the first gen LS are almost non existent. Truthfully the only things available are:
Springs - Eibach (pro-kit or just the regular ones), H&R (what I am using
now), or Tanabe (hard to get but do exist)
Shocks - Kyb_Gr2 (closest thing to stock replacement), Tokico HP blues
(personally do not recommend, blows easily),

The springs can be ordered from Tire Rack for around $300. Various other places sell them as well, so your friend will have to look for them. The shocks can be ordered from just about anywhere. Ebay has them and the KYB's can most likely be picked up at your local parts store like Pep Boys.
Have your friend also change the top strut mounts, as well as order the Daizen Bushings, they really do make a difference. Upper and lower control arm bushings in the rear as well as trailing arm, and rear sway bar bushings will help to eliminate that road dance. Hope this helps.

If your friend want's to get tanabe springs which will give him the lowest drop from springs, then tell him to try out http://www.hopupracing.com/tadrfosudfle.html They also have the other springs that trunkn was also mentioned.
