I imagine what they meant was that because it is so low the standard suspension angles have changed and there is not enough adjustment left to get the desired alignment. In the front end of a Commodore extra adjustment is gained with aftermarket adjustable strut tops and possibly even adjustable radius rods. The rear end will also need attention if it has been lowered with aftermarket suspension components that allow the correct alignment to be obtained.

I never thought of that, I thought 99% of the wheel alignment systems clamped on to the outside of the wheels so car height would normally be irrelevant to the operation of the testing equipment. You learn something new every day

i know in mandurah, beaurepairs are the only ppl that can do 20's, my mate got his 20 inch vault's back from there with a big gouge all way round the outside of rim, needless to say he wasnt happy and got his money back, and they payed for the buffing costs. so maybe try your local beaurepairs (not mandurah lol).
