Lowered 08 C30 T5 Alignment Spec sheet

I have a 08 volvo C30 T5 that I replaced the wheels (18") but kept the same OEM size wheels and added Silvers NeoMax low package coilovers. I have negative gap(maybe an inch tucked under the fender) front and rear. I have camber plates in the front and adjustable camber arms in the back. I took it in to get it aligned and the guys said he couldn't aligned to OEM spec because it was too low and that I needed to get him an alignment spec sheet for it being on coil overs instead of the OEM suspension. I have searched volvo and ford focus RS threads on this and it's all over the place. I want this to be a touring set up with lot's of highway travel. Just regular driving alignment specs. Does anyone know what this guy is talking about or does someone have good specs to blurt out? Also, it is SUPER bouncy in back. The dampeners are set at whatever default was because I was more concerned with the front and being able to clear the finder when turning. Anyone know what I need to adjust to settle the bounce?

So I raised it up enough to get it aligned and I've been trying to dampen the back for the bounce. I don't mind a little bounce but there shouldn't be this much. I'm using SIlvers NEO MAX coil overs Slammed option. OEM suspension has always been firm which was better than bouncy. Any recommendations? Should I just keep messing with dampening or is the spring load too much because the back took a lot to lower? The wheels are the same OEM size but the tires are very low profile. I have replaced rear camper arms with adjustable ones. 08 C30 T5. The front is not too bad but I feel like getting the front right with load might help the back. With the front spring load, I loosened it until there was 0 load and did a turn and a half. Should I do more?
