Default Allignment Issues

I recently put BFG KD's on all four tires with 315's in the rear. I've got a 2K SS lowered with the eibach prokit and have front QA1's. I'm guessing my front dropped total from stock is about 2 inches. Anyway, I put my new tires on and took it to Tire Kingdom here in South Carolina to get everything alligned. When I came to pick up my car the tech told me that he could allign the car so that it is going straight, but could not do the camber and castor? Forgive my spelling if that is not correct. I love the raked stance on my car, especially with the front lower, but I do notice that my front tires have a slightly weird angle to them. Most cannot tell, but I can. It seems that the bottom of the tire (part touching the ground) sticks out more than the top (near my fenders). I'm guessing that with the front dropped so low, I have thrown off the angle of the suspension. The tech told me that the camber and castor doesn't appear too far off, but it is off, and I do not want to wear my new KD's unusually fast or or in the wrong spots. Is there a way to keep the stance, and get the camber and castor adjusted, or do I just need to raise the car up an inch and get the wheels back in a normal position? Thanks for any advice given.

You may have overdid it ,there is quite a bit of adjustment for both caster and CAMBER on the lower control arms, you may try another shop to see if all adjustment has been used
