Based on your guy's knowledge and experience is it worth to pay for the Sport package on top of the touring? Or is there more value if I was to buy my own rims and mods??

Thanks!
Well the Sport package is basically: Better brakes (upgraded calipers and rotors), the bigger tires and wheels (19x9 front, 19x10 rear), some decent summer tires (Potenzas), front/rear spoilers, a viscous limited slip differential, and on the 6MT, the SynchroRevMatch feature.

Everyone seems to love the SRM, so if you're buying a 6MT, I'd say you pretty much need to get the Sport package for that alone.

The spoilers are available separately (Aero package, can even be ordered/installed after the fact later).

So... if you're going to put in your own better-than-stock differential, brakes, wheels, and tires, and you're buying a 7AT (auto) transmission, the sport package doesn't make sense, just get the Aero package. But in any other situation, you should probably get the Sport Package.
