Use the flashing red search button for all of this.
Diff: clutch type kaaz
Tie rods control steering. Get some adjustable ones if you want to adjust bumpsteer after lowering.
Tension rods are just other parts of the suspension. All of this can be researched.

Wait, you're a "suspention" specialist, but, you need an explanation of what t/c rods, tie rod ends and "such" are? weird.
Anyhow.
Tie rod ends, unless you've got good ones, are worthless. The only ones worth a damn are spl, kazama, and the like such that it reduces the angle of the tie rod as it exits the rack.
Tension/Compression or T/C Rods adjust your caster and your wheel base. Caster is basically the angle your strut makes relative to a line perpendicular to the ground. This angle allows for different amounts of camber to be present depending on the angle the wheel is turned.
As far as brakes, get the ones that are prettiest. Duh.
