Default Tokico Illumina vs. KYB AGX

Hey everyone. I am interested in purchasing some new adjustable shocks, and I have a few questions. Firstly, based from any personal experience, how are the KYB's vs. the Tokico's. I am going to be using these in conjunction with a ground control setup, and I was curious as to which brand offers the best durability, and the best performance. Second, throughout my searches, I have noticed that some websites indicate that the Tokico Illumina shocks are not for the 1994-1997 VTEC accords. Is this true, and if so, what would be the reason for this?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Illuminas will definitely handle GC's better than AGX's.

But what's up with shox.com prices?? $420 for a set of AGX shocks? That sounds extremely high.

Sorry for posting this even though it has already been discussed. When I tried to use the search , I didn't select the "archived content" feature, so I wasn't getting the good results.
