What's the difference in camber kits?

So, I know what they do, I know what I need to know about caster, alignment, toe, and why they need to be corrected with lowering a car, I know the traction rods mess around with caster and toe at the same time.
But what the hell is the difference other than range of adjustment between kits?

Kinetix, SPC, SPL, Stillen, Eibach, etc.

I can get a full Kinetix package (Rear Traction arms, Rear Camber Arms, and Front A-arms) for around 500, but SPL Front A-arms are 550 alone and Stillens in upwards of 800?

What's the deal?

I've searched everywhere and I can't find anything.

adjustability. Go spl or possibly spc front and spc or ichiba rear /w toe bolts, that's all you really need to know.

If im not mistaken the spc toe bolts offer more adjustability than the ichiba toe bolts. If ur not dropped more 1.5 in the rear i dont think u will need the extra adjustability. Someone correct me if im wrong....
