Cool Camber Kit Suggestions/Advice

Okay now I am looking at Camber Kits and I just wanted to see what your recommendations are. I have searched and I am confused as to which Ingalls kit, or any camber to get for my car.

Some information in my car's setup.

Car: 2003 Acura TL-S

Wheel information:
Stern ST11
Size 19x8.5
Offset 45mm
Lip Size 2.5"
Hub bore size 73.1 mm

Suspension:
Apexi WS Coilovers (Sorry jjashaa)
I want to lower my car between 2-3 inches, just enough to were the tires are tucked in the fender at least in the rear and the fronts just a tad, or just barely there.

Additional Modifications:
Rolling Fenders (for sure) and possibly cutting/shaving tabs if need be.

What kit should I go with? The 38720 seems to have the largest range of adjustment, but there are some kits on ebay that even offer a +4° of adjustment. I know many people here will probably vote Ingalls all the way, but I am trying to keep costs down as much as possible. Yes, call me cheap, but I have invested quite a bit on wheels, tires, suspension, and installation already.

Here is the information copied from Excelerate's GB thread, because I am absolutely lost about the 03 TL and a camber kit. Apparently we have different size arms in the rear? I dunno.... super lost here...

Ingalls Rear Camber Kit Part # 38720 - $160 shipped
Adjustment range: -1.5° to 3°
Applications for Part # 38720 - 98-02 Honda Accord, 99-02 Acura TL, 03 Acura TL*, 01-03 Acura CL

Ingalls Rear Camber Kit Part #38725 - $160 shipped
Adjustment range: 1.5° to 3°
Applications for Part # 38725 - 03-07 Honda Accord, 03 Acura TL*, 04-08 Acura TSX, 03-06 Acura 3.5 RL

There are some additional camber kits on ebay, like the SPC which has a pretty good looking rear kit and there is also a Rino Camber kit that looks pretty good for the front.

*BTW I know I should get an alignment before I even look into Camber kits, but I just want to have a kit ready, that way my friend and I can install the kit(s) while I install the coil overs at the same time. Also, if I do it in a straight shot I can save money my just getting 1 alignment instead of 2.

Any inputs would be helpful and thank you in advance.

Yes, ingalls rear part #38720, you will need two kits, one kit per side. Each kit has two same length control arms and very easy to adjust for an aligner.

search for ingalls in the sponsored sales forum and I have posted extensive information on these kits. Some 03 TL's have one control arm longer than the other, so that would require the 38725 kit. But, chances are you need 38720 kit. My car was sold as an 03 model but it was built in Dec 2002. According to Ingalls, there could be some 03's that require 38725..but I have not heard of anyone running into that yet.
