As far as comfort goes, you can lower and have a better than factory ride sometimes. You just have to get the right kind of spring/shock combo.
Unfortunately, most people's method of lowering is to chop up the current suspension and hope that it holds together. This often comes at the cost of comfort (obviously) and performance (YES... performance. If the suspension is no longer balanced to your vehicle, handling will be significantly compromised.) I have no doubt that an excellent suspension setup can lower a vehicle and increase it's handling performance while maintaining a near stock ride... but I think you know as well as I do that most people don't put much thought into lowering their vehicle the RIGHT way.
