I think you got a pretty good opinion.
Get it to a competent Shop, and you should be good.

They will use wrenches and adjust the angles with real time measurements. It's quite cool to see...lol.

just make sure to ask for before and after spec prints (every alignment machine i've seen has a printer for this purpose). if they don't provide them, i'd make them do it again (or at least set it back up to show the settings). make sure that it's right. remember that a .1 or .2* difference on one side isn't going to really effect much and it can be hard to get something dead center and tighten it up without some slight movement. i used to do alignments at the dealership i worked at and it can be really frustrating sometimes

Thanks, i will make sure to bring this up tmrw. Does the camber kit effect height for the rear? i wasnt expecting such a noticeable difference from the from front wheel gap and the rear. (sorry guys..newbie)
