If you are doing 1 or 2 DE's BBK and Coilovers are overkill.

I'd say it's best to go stock set a baseline for feel, grip and comfort. Once you have done a few events and can normalize out the driver to agree, then you can focus on what if any problem areas come up.

I would stay away from dedicated race rubber. I hear it's like crack, once you try it you can't go back. But more importantly, the added grip mill mask bad driving techniques. If you have a decent street tire, I would use that, and just flush the brake fluid before the event. As your first time out you probably will not be going fast enough to need upgraded pads. After an event or two and the speed picks up, you will probably want pads also.

I would stay away from 19's for anything beyond normal street driving.

I've been very happy with my Hankook RS3s for autox and a DE at Barber.
