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.

Maybe only 2ft different from the sport brakes to the stock??? You know the rear brakes on the Sport are bigger then the front brakes on the base? Not to mention the 4 piston calipers.
