Youll be hard pressed to find some one with that exact setup, but thats a good list of parts. Id recommend a rear arb to go with the subframe brace, the beaks is more for looks imo.

Depending on what kind of look/ setup your going for, make sure you have a good set of tyres and that you get the geometry properly setup to take advantage of the adjustability of those parts
 
My set up on my ej9 is this

Buddy Club +N coilovers (10K 7K)
Energy bushings all over
26mm front swaybar
24mm rear ASR swaybar along with the kit
ek4 front strut bar
Kosei K1 wheels 4kg each

Can't remember the alignement properly now but just a rough reference
a bit of toe out in front and toe in for the rear
More camber everywhere (more to the rear)
Sitting 0,5cm more in front than the rear

Leightweight ej9s with a proper set up (not too low, and not the nose hitting the ground) drives superb in corners. Adding some bars and fine tuning the alignement would be the next step. 0 toe for the rear and less camber for the rear too.

I would recommend to begin with adding swaybars from ek9 and then deciding for the next move. Adding big swaybars will reduce body roll and I bet you won't want to go for coils with high spring rates, thus you will have a confy ride. Lower control arms is a bit unecessary, and camber kits only for fine tuning when you are done with structural components of the suspension.
 
Better off just buying the zeta s as the superlow is more for folk who want silly low rather than handling

If you just want low then there's no point buying an asr brace etc as it'd just be wasted on a low car

But that setup if you don't make it low will be pretty damn good. Could make a really great handling car with those parts, though I'd suggest instead of the Skunk 2 bits buy the cyberspeed Meister r camber arms etc as they have really beefy bolts that are gonna be a lot stronger at holding the camber in, had the front ones on my ek and they were really fab bits of kit
 
I have a similar set up but not with the exact parts

skunk2 pro S coilover
skunk2 lower control arm
wicked tuning rear camber kit
skunk2 pro series + front camber kit
benen industries rear lower tie bar
password jdm front strut bar
blackworks rear strut bar

other thing the set up is on a mb4 identical to the ek chassis (100% mecanic compatible)

You sound like you want to splash the cash, fair play, But if it was me I'd get a EK9 rear ARB to suit the ASR and the beaks will be more for show especially with the ASR. I'd personally be choosing F7 and Hardrace combo's over the Skunk2, but thats me and the Zeta-S coilovers are really good, especially having the dual perch design for ride height adjustment.

What do you really want to find out? Details?

I had similiar setup just Cusco Zero2's

Changed to:
TienFlex coilovers
SPC Cambers (all around)
ASR Subframe & Swaybar
Function7 LCA's
Blox endlinks
Si EM1 front LCA's & swaybar
 
now we shared our personal set up
but your set up is more for style or performance?
for the beaks I heard a lot of things about it
do you feel a difference with it?
