Im going to install all of this, but im getting mixed reviews about installing them at ride height VS installing them while the suspension is hanging (full droop). Which one really is the right one?

just wanna clarify so I dont make mistakes

I have the top 3 on your list and they don't matter if the suspension is loaded or unloaded when you install them. I can't speak for the other 2 items. You might want to consider a set of jacking rails also, since you have the steeda braces, you will need steeda jacking rails, you can't mix and match brands with the rails and braces, they don't fit with each other.

If you loosen bolts / nuts on any rubber bushings besides the 4 rear subframe mounts, they should be retightened with the vehicle at normal ride height. This is a rule of thumb for any suspension work regardless of the vehicle or reason.

Enclosed is a video by Steeda explaining the torque at curb process and why that should be followed.

I only added the IRS subframe support braces, and they made a very noticeable difference,

How much power you running?
I am at stock power aside from any gains from a K&N drop in and a Borla S-Type Catback. I had some wheel hop prior to adding these, now when pushing it hard from 1st through 3rd the car tracks straight at high rpm shifting.
