Check the rule book for the organization you want to AX with and see what your options are. With some clubs, coilovers put you in a modified class with Vettes and Vipers. Not a good plan if you want to compete to win. Usually tires are the first and most important choice to make, and tire choice will determine suspension needs. The more tire grip and lateral Gs you develop, the more "tied down" and precise your suspension needs to be.

If these are your wheels they are downright portly and switching to a stock 17" would probably shave 2 seconds off your lap.

"The weights of ALT-MiRo Type 368 or Type 366 wheels are:
19"x 8.5": 36 lb.
19"x10.0": 39 lb..
This information was supplied to my by ALT-Miro wheels."
