The J's heatshield is for their Engine Torque Damper.

As far as I know (from many different people), the Front x-brace will help the car to be more stable over bumpy surfaces, but other than that the other braces (strut braces, rear braces, etc.) don't really do anything.

As for the three parts you listed at the end, here's what they do:

J's Racing SPL Pillowball Bump Steer Kit: Installs in the rear suspension, fixes the bump steer problem in the rear and allows you to dial in more toe, and thus more camber (I think caster too, not sure) in a lowered S2000

J's Racing SPL Pillowball Steering rod end: Replacement rod ends for the pillowball bump steer kit (they wear out, as to all rod ends)

T1R Front Anti-Bumpsteer kit: fixes bump steer on the front suspension in lowered cars

Also, I've never heard anything about BC Racing coilovers on the S2000 ... I've heard some owners of other cars like them, but those other cars don't come with remote-resavoir Showa coilovers from the factory, either.

bc racing is cheap taiwanese made crap (megan is rebadged bc racing), buddyclub racing spec dampers are actually from japan. why are you getting all these useless high end parts and cheaping out on one of the most crucial components of the car? those other suspension components you listed wont be used to their full potential without a good set of coilovers. you should really rethink how your building this car...

Really? It makes sense to get rid of a set of remote resavoir Showa coilovers to go buy a set of cheap, Taiwanese coilovers that will rust over in two years?
