5) Would the sport brakes last any longer or shorter than base brakes? Would they be a lot costlier to replace?

1. The ride might be slightly different. The taller sidewall on the 18's will soak up a little more of the bumps.

2. The sport will have fractionally more road noise due to the wider tires.

3. In street driving the stock LSD will lock up and help get the power down but mostly is only of benefit in situations where you would have the VDC off. In cruise mode you're not likely to notice that much of a difference.

4. I don't think there was much in it, maybe 2 feet.

5. The sport brakes are more likely to wear evenly vs the floating caliper design. Pad wear overall is more of a driver factor. Replacement parts are going to cost about the same with the exception of the caliper itself which are usually good for 100,000 miles before needing a rebuild.
