you can slot the top bolt hole on your struts (where the strut bolts to the spindle) to allow for camber adjustment.

Was the front or rear off? 45 bucks seems pretty reasonable for a 4-wheel alignment. Prices usually range from $50-$90 depending on where you live.

Yeah, just do what uiuc240 said and drill the top bolt hole out so its watermelon shaped (rounded horozontal rectangle).  However, I would have just given them the $45....cause if they had screwed it up...then they would be liable for it....unlike if you screwed it up trying to install your $25 kit....plus it was already there getting aligned.
