Default What to do next (suspension)

OK guys, I have started the suspension upgrade path. 88 LX 5.0 auto. It rode like it had no suspension at all, this weekend I put in BBK progressive rate springs (new isolators too) and KYB struts/shocks (all 6). It still rides pretty harsh, but atleast it doesnt sound like its bottoming out everytime I go over a bump now. So, what do you guys think I should do next? I'm trying to get it to a higher performance level than stock, but keep it a daily driver. I'm thinking about getting the prothane total suspension bushing kit, all urethane bushings next. Anyone have an idea what would be good to do next?

Aftermarket suspension will give you a rough ride.......but that does not mean that it is not handling good

Mine hits bumps hard....but it hugs turns like a Porsche
