Default Suspension upgrades- what next?

Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post about spending some cash on suspension. The spending has begun, I'm just trying to figure out what to do next. Here's what I've got so far:

BMR adjustable panhard bar
BMR lca's and adjustable uca
Eibach pro-kit springs

What next? I'm currently running stock 17's but in the future wish to go with 20's. The car is a daily driver so I'm really just looking to smooth up the ride. Thanks again guys!

Tokico D-specs. It's cheaper to replace now than later so you don't have to rent or pay for labor when your stock shocks go bad.

. . . but in the future wish to go with 20's. The car is a daily driver so I'm really just looking to smooth up the ride.
20's and "smooth ride" don't exactly go together if your roads aren't in great shape, and there is a slightly increased risk of pinch-flats and rim damage as the wheel size is increased. Some areas of NJ are better than others, but I'd consider a wider range of wheel size options if I were you.
