any kit you buy (or individual parts) that lower a vehicle will decrease the ride comfort. there is no real way around it. if you give a car less room to travel you will feel the bumps more. you can't change the laws of physics.

If you lower your ride the "right way," you can save yourself really rough ride quality down the road. Shop around for lowering springs (Eibach or H&Rs) and a good set of shocks (by good I mean they will probably be around $400 like tokico, koni, etc). The stock shocks on your car aren't going to be able to take the stress of a drop and it will wear them out FAST!! There's also lowering kits that you may have heard of called, "true coilovers" OR "full coilovers." These are nice to get because they have all the necessary components you need (integrated threaded body shocks and adjustable lower perch). Most coilover kits like that can be adjusted manually for street or show (adjustable from 1"-4" manually). Just do some research on these to find what is best suited for your ride and your wallet. Most likely, you'll be spending anywhere from $600-$1000 on the drop. Hope this helped.

pretty sure all sxt models came whit those options. i think the only non-standard was the sunroof, but i may be wrong. i haven't seen an sxt without those items you mentioned yet.

Some didn't come with cruise control. My wife made sure it had cruise control.
Love the car, the only problem is a leaky gasket on the axle that is still under warranty and need to get it fixed before that runs out.....
