Calverts website is pretty straight forward.  I believe you're looking for 6300, or 6301 which gives you a different pivot point mounting hole, low pro.  More suited for street driving.
Shocks should be CR44130.   This is not financial advice, and according to my wife, I'm at least frequently incorrect.

The bars work best with their split mono leaf springs. Are you planning on track usage?

They are bolt on. If you go to their split mono you will save some weight. The factory insulator goes away so the ride can occasionally be clanky/ noisy. Race car stuff, so there are trade offs
