I just bought a 84mm bore metal head gasket. I also just found out my car is 83mm. Will the 84mm fit on my car properly?

perfectly, no worries.
It's normal for the bore on a head gasket to be slightly larger.
This is good in case you decide to bore the cylinders any larger than stock.

...waiting to see the answer on this. Also, does anyone know what bore the HKS 1.2mm MHG comes in, or does that vary in sizes as well?

awesome, you made my day
will the compression still be good?

If you do in fact cause the compression to lower a bit, this is OK, because it will actually make the engine a little more durable, and you can compensate for any lost power by increasing boost a little.
