Mike:
 Most alignments consist of "Setting the toe and letting it go". The rear is
not adjustable from the factory but different offset bushings are available.
You also can upgrade to the GM tubular rear control arms for complete
adjustability. If your car has been lowered or sagging some you may need to
adjust the rear toe and/or camber. What does the wear pattern on the rear
tires look like? Any edges wearing? If you need some adjustments post back
to the list for more options and where to get them. Be sure and get the
print out from the shop showing before and after settings. They don't do
much for the money but if the guy will use the alignment machine to it's
full potential you can learn a lot about your car.
