Sport Package Brake Test vs Non-Sport Package

hey32g · 04-11-2009, 05:59 PM

I'm just wondering if the sports package is really worth it, or if the money would be better spent getting a Nismo suspension and some aftermarket or the new Nismo wheels that are a bit wider. Really with the sports package you're paying for brakes, wheels, and ltd slip. Oh and the rear spoiler, because I really don't even notice the front spoiler.

Just some thoughts.

And all that is only 3k. The brakes alone are worth 2,000. And Rays wheels? You're going to have a hard time getting a comparable car with aftermarket parts.

x2 the sport package is without a doubt worth the money. The touring I had a much harder time justifying.

The sports package calipers work well, they have a lot of clamping force. The pads on the other hand are pretty much useless for pretty much well ... anything. For auto-x or light track duty get the Hawk HP+. For hard-core track duty the Carbotech XP pads sound good.

Is there a lot more brake dust with either of those?
