OP, you sure you don't have the base + sport package? If so, you have the wheels and brakes you wanted.
As far as I know, in the US it's Base vs. Touring, and either can have the sport pack.

I believe you can upgrade to sport brakes with the correct calipers, rotors, lines, and brackets... not sure if the booster/cylinder is different though. IMO more worthwhile to get it from the factor though as it would come with the other sport options and would be warrantied.

You can't just buy "bigger calipers"... bigger calipers require bigger rotors, bigger pads, bigger brackets, and shorter lines. The parts sold seperately would cost significantly more than the package itself. |

for brake pad options, i have no idea what those are and do i really need to spend an extra $90 for Z1 stainless steel brake lines? i dont want to spend too much, but will as long as its no where near 3K. because if im going to spend over a 1K on important things like brakes on a brand new car, than i wont be stingy over an extra grand or so |

You are about to spend $1400 on the BEST low end BBK and its really that much of a hassle to make them more dependable and stop shorter for $90 extra? So for you a BBK is purely cosmetic??? Why not save some cash and get riced out caliper covers? Brembo makes a quality set that will fool most. |

Talk to the sales rep and explain the situation. If he did not inform you about the specs on the car you were getting or gave you wrong information then I would expect him to make it right.. If you just went in there and ordered the car without asking questions though.. that's another story
