Need help with alignment and bolts holding in shims.

[LONGHAIR]

Kevin alread said the things I would have...
The lower control arm bushings are shot. It's especially bad when you can see it in a snap-shot. I'm amazed that the alignment shop didn't mention this?
Ditch the coil-over shocks. The upper shock attachment point is notoriously weak to begin with, they won't do well with extra force applied.

To answer your initial question...
I would tear into this myself, replacing the main parts. Then take it to the alignment shop to fine tune it.
That is quite a stack of shims. Some of them may be in there to compensate for the bad bushings, but there is a way to eliminate some of them. Offset control arm shafts will reduce the need for 1/4" of them. Then you may be able to go back to a shorter mounting stud. If they need replacing anyway, it certainly doesn't hurt...
