They are like KYB AGX's set on setting 2, where 1 being OE soft. Good budget shock. Non adjustable.

Dont even try to compare them to Koni Yellows. They are pretty soft--just a little stiffer than stock. Maybe slightly softer than Tokico Blues, but I'm not sure.

How do you think GR2s would go w/ Pro Kits on a 94 ex coupe? I'm kinda short on cash right now and I'm not sure if it's worth it to save up for AGX... I'm not into racing or anything either- I just need a good shock to go w/ some Pro Kits.

It would be ok, maybe a little softing causing some bottoming out. Suspension is not a place you want to go cheap on because you wont be too happy.
