First, you don't need lighter wheels, just swap out the tires you have on your stock 1LE wheels to Michelin PSS, 285/35-20 fronts and 295/35-20 rears(105Y Ferrari spec)...
upgrade your brake lines to steel braided with Motul 600 at a minimum, prefer Castrol SRF...also get a separate clutch resevoir from JDP Motorsports...brake pads are your choice, stock work fine for autocross, Hawk HPS work better, and Cobalt Friction are the best, but will wear out rotors quicker....
then before you start throwing coilovers in the mix, get a lot of seat time with your set up...the 1LE struts are good with the 1" drop springs until you get used to the handling...I can't stress the seat time enough, then decide on some coilovers...if you are planning to autocross the majority of the time, Ride Tech would be the best choice and will be what I switch to if my Pedders Supercars give up at some point. Good luck with whatever you choose...  |
Really good advice and this is very close to what I'm doing. I'm not sure of your experience but as a newby in the world of AutoX myself the seat time is my biggest hurdle right now. I can tell you though that I paid for one day of quality instruction and added over 10mph to my run and a 50% increase in G's pulled. So, if you can swing it put some money into training yourself and that will pay dividends for as long as you race, unlike more parts.
