A couple of those look... pointless.

Why have a strut bar when the towers are already triangulated?

Why a rear bumper brace when the bumper beam is already connecting the ends of the subframe?

Odd.

They all look awesome, but you'll only need about 4 of them. The rest just look nice. I wonder if they plan on having detailed descriptions to validate the increased performance they are providing? Some of them don't look like actual braces.

It's all about increasing chassis ridgity. Standard parts all flex, this will stop that. More oriented at track work or the hard-core street racer.
Strut braces, underbody H brace and sway bars will do me

I'm pretty sure Draco has some knowledge and experience here.

As a track guy and racer a lot of these appear to be very pointless.
