Greg.... just give me a call @ 814-849-3450, which is what I was going to tell you on the e-mail. If I don't answer, just leave a message and I'll call you back.
We'll work through the options, and all three are workable (and there are others too). Pro-kits will be low man on the list though, we can do better and use those because they are the minimum workable springs but give a height some folks are after. I'm not crazy about looks first, function second, but some people are.

Pictures aren't measuring, they are pictures of different cars with different wheels, tires, paint colors, graphics, backgrounds, all of which can fool the eye.
and some cars ive seen b4 the hotchkis just usually seems to be pretty low. There might be a few cars that sit kind of high on it but most I see sit decently low. Im not saying your wrong by any means and you seen more of them then me im sure but that is just my experiance and what I seen with the hotchkis. I know from car to car and tires/wheel packages do make a big diff.
Most the cars I seen the with hotchkis kit looks to sit like this one

I understand, but you are basing that off pictures, which can be misleading. I look at that SS, and it looks good, but not any lower than a car with my springs on average. And each car varies too, your car may not be that low with the very same springs installed (and I see you have them waiting to put on).
I'm not trying to bust you nuts here, and I know you were trying to help. But the biggest issue with the internet is incomplete or misleading information.... And for every picture of A you have showing a "nice height", someone can counter with B, C, or D.
