Yes your shocks will wear out faster and some have described the ride to be bouncy.

Thats right Acute Performance! My car felt like a 1970's era Cadillac when I went over freeway undulations because my struts prematurely wore out due to installing lowering springs on standard struts.

Coilovers or proper shocks, I have race springs, I don't regret it because I wanted coilovers all along and knew id have to upgrade sooner then later but if you plan on keepin your stock struts for a while, race springs will def wear them out faster
