Tokico HP shocks/struts are upgraded "performance" based to make handling stiffer. It is designed also for lowered applications. As in if you put lowering springs on, these things go great with them because they help stop the "spongey" feel and help from rubbing, etc.

Yes, it's kind of bother me too.
I also cut the bump stop by 1.1"
May be I will put in hard rubber gasket into the gap?

I jacked up the passenger side of the car and took more pics.
Just like mrbond said above.
The passsenger side has no gap when the wheel is up
The driver side still has gap because the wheel is on the ground.
