Yea I've got the neuspeed race springs on mine and I have no gap and I'm on 17's on my 93 accord.The bad thing is when you have passengers in the back.

Btw dont pick up a set of GR-2's by mistake. They arent anything but OEM replacements. AGX's are fully adjustable which will help your car sit a lil nicer.

To clarify, shocks won't have any effect on the car's ride height, unless it's like Koni shocks which have adjustable spring perches. AGX's have OEM-style perches and won't make a difference in how low or high the car sits.
