I actually am betting you added a lot more weight than you think. A 12" JL W6 for example weighs 19.4lbs. Add that with MDF, which is used to make boxes because it is very dense, and you probably have closer to 70lbs there, if not more, plus any dynamat added (a standard 2x12" box on amazon I quickly looked at weighs 36 lbs). Don't forget the weight of the amp(s), a JL 250x1, which I am assuming is smaller than what you are running, has a shipping weight of 11 lbs. Plus wire and everything else, you probably added close to 90-100 lbs.

Additionally, it sounds like you are going to add much heavier wheels than stock. I am not sure coilovers are going to help much at all. I would bet you will still be slower and handle worse than the car did stock.
