On the street the stopping distances are essentially the same with both the sport and non-sport. In theory the sport brakes should do better under light track duty but the reality is they don't.

So the best reasons to get the Sport package are:
- SRM
- Larger sport wheels
- Viscous LSD (good for street use)

Thanks guys for the great answers.

Matt, youre right. The 19" wheels do look better. Once you go 19" you can't go back.

I drive auto. And I have no idea what SRM mean or it would help with an Auto transmission.

The SRM is for the manual only. All the auto's have a version of SRM so you're good.
