I'm no expert but here it goes:
1.) The strut tower bars connect the struts together at the tops. The tie bars go across the bottom. I think you can only get a rear tie bar. It helps to brace the frame. For the front you'd need a sub-frame X brace.
2.) Don't know about the shocks. I've nevered had a lowered car before. I think this has be discussed quite a bit this summer. You might want to do a search for springs and check out some of the older posts.
3.) Once again I don't know.
4.) Ditto
5.) The reason a lot of people talk about the type-s bar is becasue it is cheap and well made (OEM). And, it will help to tighten your car up so that it won't oversteer as much.
Maybe some of the suspension experts or autocrossers will respond to this.
