Default Opinions on suspension mods!!!

I am currently working on my suspension. So far i have: Eibach Pro springs, Metco lowers, steeda uppers, steeda bump steer kit, and MMCC plates.

I plan on hitting the track occassionally but i also want a nice ride. I have been looking at Tockico hp, and KYB Gas adjusts. Or would i benefit better from adjustable shocks(billstein,strange etc.)?
