So I've been running 17s in the rear on my car and I was wondering if going back to the stock 15s would be better? I ask cause when I come into a long sweeper I have to initiate later and usually run out of power before I can get through it and transition. Would the smaller wheels help? Try to enter faster? Etc...

Hey guys, so I'm looking to sell my R33 and pickup a T2 fc3s soon. If i smash my R33 here in Canada I'm SOL and won't be able to find body panels. Heres what I'm going with as I've priced most of it out. If you guys have better experience with other parts dont hesitate to let me know and possibly where you got it from.
Suspension:
Stance - GR + Coilover (Have on my R33, amazing)
Battle Version - Rear Toe Links
Hotline - Drift Knuckle/Spindle
Battle Version - Centre rear camber
AWR - RCA Camber Adjustors
AWR - DTSS Eliminator
Brakes:
stock!!!
SS brake lines
pbr pads (So cheap, what a wicked deal)
hand brake--- STOCK!!
Engine:
Stock LS1 for now
Drivetrain:
T56 Tranny
ACT or Bully stage 3 6 puck clutch
MMR - Solid rear subframe mounts
MMR - Solid diff mounts
Wheel/tire:
Broke student status = 17x9.5 Battles with different combinations of spacers.
PSM 30mm stacked wheel spacer set to run front and back with different offset wheels
The only thing I think I'm confused on is the steering angle business. I figured I would get the JTP spindles, but what else do I need with that? Do I need extended inner tie rods and a super angle kit? I was looking at the Stance kit and was wondering if anyone had experience with that, as it seems a little troublesome to get the gp sports kit or supernow from Japan. Also the Mazdatrix kit looks weaksauce and I heard about lots of play in their heims. If anyone could offer me some insight I'd really like to jump ship into a Mazda platform to keep giving my s-chassis buddies a run for their money. And as a little teaser, here's what my R33 looks like haha.
