I think the 19" wheels are a bigger upgrade than the brakes. I've had the stock brakes out on an autocross in 105 degree weather and they're just fine. The other thing about the brembos is that they aren't quite up to the job of a full on open track event--for serious track time you'll need something even better. The 19 x 9 wheels provide a bigger footprint that the 18 x 8's just don't provide, as long as you're up for shelling out more bucks when it's time to replace the tires.

Congrats and I hope you're patient because the wait could be pretty long. I ordered mine on 5/28, got my VIN about 2 weeks ago and my build date is not until 8/2.

x2 on the comment to ditch the 18" wheels and shaker 1000 stereo. Another thing you'll get with the Brembo package is the strut brace.

Funny thing is I didn't get the Brembo package but got the strut tower brace, and i didn't even ask for it either. Must have been a dealer installed option from whatever dealer in texas that my dealer got it from, if that makes sense.
