I like the Hotchkis TVS kit. But since you ordered the Hellwig rear bar, you should perhaps get their front bar to match it. Hellwig tends to size their bars a little stiffer than other brands and you don't want to have a stiffer rear bar than front. On their first gen Camaro front bar, the Hellwig hollow bar uses .188" wall tube. The Hotchkis front hollow bar is .156" wall tube. This makes a big difference in rate. I don't know if the Hellwig second gen front bar is heavier wall but it might be.

If you were happy with the present ride height, you could change just the sway bars and shocks and have a nice riding car to cruise & see if you are happy with it that way. Lowering the car requires stiffer springs and the Hotchkis springs put the car at a good height, you can't go lower without troubles. The Ride Tech system will improve the ride quality over the Hotchkis due to the multi-link rear suspension.
