Could also be that the tires aren't balanced very well. Whenever I get tired balanced I pay extra for a road force balancing. The machine will simulate weight on the tire and therefore the sidewall flex which does affect the wheel balance. Camber should not cause vibrations at speed. Just increase tire wear. As for this bolt business. Are they talking about the rear of the car or the front. There are various shimming 'tricks' that can be applied to the rear suspension to create camber but any professional mechanic that would use something like that isn't worth the time of day. Other than that a kit is necessary to adjust camber. Since your not lowered then the only way to induce camber (without non-stock equipment) is to bend a suspension component by hitting a curb or something like that. In which case the component should be replaced instead of using a camber kit.
Cliffnotes: go to a different mechanic/alignment shop.
