Do you have sports or non-sport suspension?
If you have the non-sport, the ride might look a bit high with the 20" wheels. There's not much you could do about the comforts by changing springs when riding on 20"s. I'm trying to say that not much with the springs can be done to soften the harsness caused by a low profile tyre, in general.

From what other members on the forum have, you should be fine with 20" wheels and sport suspension.
