If you upgrade your springs and lower your car there is a chance that your shocks will go out faster (not a big deal if you're going to replace them anyway) your ride will be a lot different with stock shocks and aftermarket springs but If you were going to upgrade the springs then do the shocks like 6 months later I'm sure you'd be fine

Can't speak for Accord specifically on this topic but have lowered quite a few of my cars over the years and yeah unless you switch to better shocks gonna be a bouncier ride as lowering springs are always firmer.
