Default Alignment questions? kinda dummm

Alright soo i bought new tires a few months ago on spring break. Drove about 500 miles on them then had the suspension done (koni coilovers). The shop told me they did a alignment so i wasnt to worried about it. But after alot of town driving (35-45 mph) and finially getting on a highway. i realized that something wasnt right. So i thought it was wheel bearing again but its not and narrowed it down to alighnment. so i went back to the tire center and had my alignment redone. and the guy tells me cause my car is lowered that the camber is now way off and it can be totaly aligned properly cause of the coilovers????
Has any1 had anyhti9ng luiek this?
If any1 can make sense of the computer pring out of all the alignment info.... i do have it and i oculd post it up and see what u guys think.
But all i am really asking is this a common issue with coilovers and or whats this bs they were saying about only being able to correct it with a camber kit?
And my car has a serious hop/vibration at 60mph+

Thanks for the help

Camber should not be an issue with something like that, considering you have double wishbones you won't get extreme camber from lowering the car.

Yea, camber will not cause this. Camber just lets you turn in a little faster, & gives better cornering grip, @ the expense of tire wear.

You will have more camber then stock, depending how low you go.

Sounds to me that the toe is off.

You can adjust that, & make sure the "cradle" is adjusted so that the camber is the same from side to side.
