Default strut help

I have a 94 accord and i installed H&R sport springs a year ago and everything went fine so i decided to upgrade my struts by changing stock shocks into kyb gr2 since they're a little bit more firm. before i installed my struts, the i had a fender gap about 2 fingers and after i installed the struts, the drop got lower and it looked like there's no more gap. Would it be possible that the drop will be lower if i change the shocks and do i have to do alignment again since it got lower?

My brother has a 4 gen lude and we installed H&R sport with stock shocks and after we installed the springs, the rear was lower by half an inch compared to the front. we made sure that the front springs goes to the front and same way with the rear springs. Could it be the worn struts at the rear or lowering springs really do that?

have you had those h&r springs mounted on your stock struts, i just got new springs and i want to put them on but i wanted to knwo how much of a drop it gives you on your stock springs, i dont have enough money yet to get new struts, anyway for you question, im not an expert but ive read stuff that different struts have the spring perch in different locations, thus giving you more of a drop than expected, i also read that 94-95 accords had the spring perch in a weird location adn they switched it back in 96 so 96+ owners dont have these problems
