You underestimate the power of the dark side.

lol my bad guys i mean moving on to the FD, i started from the bottom with a 83 gs -many rx7s later now i am looking into fd's .

i dont want to get rid of my wheels because i like them a lot, atleast until i get some nicer wheels that will suit a fd , mines will do

i know that tucked look is +40-----+50 offset on the fd but when it gets to mid +20s to +30 offset i want to see what they would look like on 17"

If you want really aggressive on stock body with a pull, look at D CUPS's ride...

I think you're confused man. I wouldn't call it going to the darkside, I'd call it seeing the light.

Glad to see another FC guy comin' over! I paid my dues with YEARS of FC's, had a lot of fun with them, finally graduated to my dream car .

On the wheels, hit up the Wheels and Suspension section, Rishie has made a bunch of posts on offset and sizes, what fits and what doesn't. For reference, my FD has 17x8/17x9 +35 offset that fits GREAT, ZERO rubbing, and is flush with the fender. It's not a super agressive fitment, but looks great and works great too.

If you've got the money, get one that has been the least hacked up. on most cars I would say intake and exhaust is fine, but because of the boost creep issues of the FD you really want something with no more than a downpipe, AST, and like 50k on the clock with good compression.
