Default shocks for 90-93 accord...?

i have been looking around because i am in major need of new shocks for my 92 lx. i have tokico blues which have been on there for ALONG time.
i've heard people giving opinions on tokico illuminas, kyb agx and koni's (yellow/blue/red). what do you guys think would be a not too expensive for daily driving one. i have h&r sport springs.
thanks for the info guys.

Yeah Bilsteins are good. I have the Bilstein Sports. I dunno how the Sports compare to the HDs.
An excellent budget shock is the KYB AGX. I'm sure they must have an application for the 4th gen Accord.

Theres no better or worse here. Just different. Bilsteins are for a slightly higher spring rate.

I've got a set of KYB AGX's and they have given me my money's worth, since the ride is not too bad and they still have good dampening characteristics. They are a strong #2 to the Koni's, but unless you plan on racing, KYB's are all you need.
