Default what shocks should i get for my '85 si?

like the title says. i just picked up an '85 crx si today and it seems as though the front shocks are blown. since i figure honda parts arent going to be much cheaper than aftermarket, ill go aftermarket. preferably i would like to get non-adjustables too since they will allow me to remain in G stock in autocross. heres the list at www.shox.com:

005. KYB shocks 1984 - 1987 Non-adjustable, set of 4 174.00
010. Tokico shocks 1984 - 1987 HP series non-adjustable, set of 4 279.00
015. Tokico Illumina 1984 - 1987 Illumina series, Externally adjustable, set of 4 439.00
020. Koni Sport shocks 1984 - 1987 Set of 4 506.80 t
025. Suspension Techniques springs 1984 - 1987 Rears only, Lowers 1" 89.00
030. B&G springs 1984 - 1987 Front adj., Lowers rear 1.5" 99.00
035. Eibach Pro-Kit 1984 - 1987 Rears only, lowers 1" 119.00
040. Suspension Techniques sway bars 1984 - 1987 5/8" front, 3/4" rear 229.00
045. Ground Control coil-over kit 1984 - 1987 Rears only, lowers 0-2", comes with Eibach ers springs, no struts 189.00
050. Energy Suspension Hyperflex bushing kit 1984 - 1987 Complete kit, includes heavy-duty hardware 79.95

-to sumarize the list, theres really only 3 choices short of the adjustables. basically the KYBs for $174, Tokicos for $279, and Konis for $506

any of you guys have experience in this area? keep in mind im going to maintain my stock springs and torsion bars. what should i get here? cost is a big concern for me but im willing to pay more for a better product.
