Toe and camber can be adjusted for. Camber sometimes has difficulty though depending on how your car is lowered.

Wellthey can adjust the toe just fine...perhaps what they meant was they could never get the correct alignment without being able to adjust the camber at the same time. If your gonna lower your car and do not want to buy new tires every 6 months...then get the camber kits and get the alignment done right. Just my .02
