I had a nice thread here about sport v. non-sport and in the end you get a great value for the sport package. Yes you could go aftermarket and get "better" parts and save some money up front and spend more later, but why not take a great value and use these parts and upgrade down the road when/if needed.

Im not being Lazy per se..
The akebono brake pack was good enough for me...if there are better brake kits so be it.....but in my experience its the brake pads (Hawk DTC60s will probably be my next choice) that really do the trick...the sport pack had the size of calipers and rotors i wanted. The BBK was worth the 3k for me..as my 350z lacked one..and i hated killing my rotors every 2-3 track events...while my track buddy with a BBK didn't have that kind of rotor wear problem.
Though i do admit...if you don't track the car..the little brakes are adequate enough for spirited/street driving, and auto-x especially with a pad upgrade. This can turn in a -1 for the sport pack if you dont track, since you will have to hash out more for brake parts when the time comes for replacement.
Also the wheels played a big factor for me...the wieght, size and look of the wheels is excellent in the sport pack IMHO...i plan on keeping my wheels stock. Not dealing with 30lb 18x8s like on my 350z, and not having to go out and getting a set of LMGT4s like i did in the past....also made it worth it for me. Though this may not be the case for all.
