If I want to make some Koni-insert coilovers for my Legacy all I have to do is get some steel tubing, thread it for spring perches, weld a cap on the bottom with a hole for a 14mm(?) bolt and two tabs with two holes each to mount it to the upright.
I just really have no idea what that shaft/pin thing sticking out of the bottom of the AE86's strut is.
As for the rear camber, I don't know enough about a solid axle's geometry to know even if they need it. But I have heard of circle track guys going to elaborate measures to get a bit of rear camber.
For these two reasons I've stayed away from AE86s. I don't know enough about the funny struts and solid axles.

here is a FSM diagram of the front suspension, circle what you saw and I'll try to explain it or name it.
well rear camber usually is just adds grip on rear tires but the solid axles cars also have a way to add extra grip on the rear, like traction brackets. heres a pic from a forum member,its the silver bracket I have one also.
