i don't recommend K-sport lowering springs.
While I don't have first hand experience with them, but I used a set of their coilovers and the springs of their coilovers were of low quality. peeled very fast and a damper blew within a year. they've upgraded their products but i'm still not too comfortable with their spring quality.
as for monroes, I've heard good things about them. but overall, they are just easy to work with because everything is pre-assembled so you just bolt them on. Can't say much about performance and longevity though.
tokicos are better than KYB-GR2s because they are made to handle lowering springs. pricier as well though, that's why best bang for the buck is still KYB GR2 because they advertise life time warranty. if a damper is gone, just get a new set with the receipt.

Weird thing was, it showed the tokico spring/shock application (not coilover, sorry!) is only for 95-96 ES. I'm assuming there's an update after the 94 model year.
600 bux for springs & shocks may not be too bad.

Look up on Amazon.com for Monroe 171979 Quick-Strut Complete Strut Assembly. This is one of the front ones for your vehicle and it includes Everything including torque numbers for the top nuts and the primary mounting nuts. It wasn't hard to install.
