It is absolutely the case that if you buy the right high end shocks and struts, handling improves a lot and so does ride comfort. I did it on my Mini cooper S. Handling went way up and it is not jarring on the roads of NY City. My wheels also are 9 lbs. lighter and the tires are a lot lighter (never measured exactly). Lowering is something i have no idea about.

strut tower braces improving ride. Hm. The new 2017 has reinforced strut towers individually and ride improved from it. It could be the towers connected transmit some of the vibrations across the car? Would be a bit small of a function.
