Alignment hilarity

So - went to pick up my car after getting an alignment yesterday. $94 out the door, more than I expected, but they did a 4-wheel alignment, rather than just the front. Probably best that they did, as rear thrust was a bit out of wack. Toe is now near zero, car drives straight, and the steering wheel is well-aligned. Funny comments on the receipt though - camber on the right side wasn't within factory specs, so they recommended offset bushings to "correct" that. !!!! I've been looking for offset bushings for a couple years now, and NEVER found any for my car. I mentioned that to them, and they seemed quite surprised. :-P I think my camber now is a pathetic -1.2° on the front left, and -1.4° on the front right. :-(
