As long as you have 17" wheels, you can run the 99-setup at all four corners with no issues. It's a great setup and there is a lot of information about these brakes on the forum.

I am (will be) running Stoptech brakes up front with the 99+ rears.

I thought between the fc and fd the calipers were the same but the rotor hat has a different offset.

Not true, but the TII front calipers DO use the same pad shape as the FD calipers.

the calliper sticks out farther than stock 93-95 so u have to have 17" wheels to fit them inside.

About $330 per caliper front (and you'll need the rotors too):

Yuck they aren't even powdercoated. I would just opt for a big brake kit or the RZ calipers.
