- front camber plates (thats 150$ more)
- rear spring on the shock, not sepperated setup (you can't make that yourself)

You do get a lot for your money.. its just that the most important part - the shock, is not made for the ae86 or a quality part. The HTS is both..that's where the money goes I guess.

Front camber is a very personal thing..you can see if you need more of it by taking a look at your tire wear pattern. Too much wear on the outside shoulder of the tire == you need more camber. If your tire wear is nice and even, then it won't do much more besides cause extra wear and reduce straight line braking power. Might help tuck a fatty rim under stock fenders though.

The rear coilover setup isn't really that big of an advantage. The upside is cheap replacement springs and lots of choice, downside is slightly more roll of the rear axle. The adjustable seperate springs are also good.

Hence the smiley eh!
