the only difference is that the Base Autos had a different suspension, brakes, etc... It was an option/upgrade for the better parts... The 6speeds came with the sport suspensions... Hope that helped...

I would recomend these, I have them and they are wonderful

if you have a GT then you have the sport suspension, which includes bigger rotors.... 320mm to be exact... i believe the non sport is 302mm.. i got Centric rotors, which is basically OEM... more than enough for daily driving... as for pads i got Centric Axxis pads... slightly better then OEM and just about as dusty, which i dont mind for better braking

I went RacingBrake for my rotors and Hawk Ceramic pads.

At this point I think the only 8s that don't have sports are the ones with 16" wheels. I've even been told that for some markets, like Canada, all models are sports.
