Default Suspension Question

Ok I am a complete noob when it comes to suspension, so this is probably a very dumb question but here goes. My 4th Gen Prelude came lowered on springs/shocks and it site extremely low and I scrape everywhere I go and it really pisses me off. My question is if I put some stock springs on the car instead of the aftermarket ones, will my car be back at stock height? Or will it still be lower because of the shocks? I know most aftermarket shocks are made for lower cars so if I put some stock springs on there, will it affect the shocks? (leak, blow out, etc.) Thanks.

Put your stock springs back. They'll work fine with aftermarket shocks.

Yep, OEM springs will return it to stock height and that will be just fine for stock or aftermarket shocks. Only the spring affects the ride height, the shock is just there to keep you from bouncing everywhere
