94 KX forks would be a good size improvement, but a '96+ model would be much worth the money.

I have a set of 1994 KX 125 forks on my 1995 KDX - vast improvement over stock. But yes, the newer forks (96+) would probably provide better action.

I used '96 forks on my kdx conversion ('04 kdx). They are worlds better than the stock forks. I believe '96 is the first year for the 46 mm fork tubes, so they would probably flex less than older forks.
I would try to find the best condition forks you can. Most older forks will probably need new seals and possibly bushings. Make sure you factor this into your cost equation.
Good luck!
