n00blet question. how to tell if its sport or non-sport
something in the VIN possibly? I know I do not have a GT 8, but was curious how to tell if it is still a sport or non-sport. getting ready to order my rotors and it calls for a different front rotor between the 2 models. thought MTs were sport, and all ATs were non-sport, but talking to dozer he said that his friend has an AT sport. so if my original question is in fact true, blame him for this thread :O

o really ? ask your friend again is he/she sure about that.
but what does it matter. the bigger rotor wont fit into 16" wheels
so if he has 18" wheels, just get the bigger rotor, it will fit nicely.
and the original question, yes the VIN number can tell you what trim you have.

"Sport" is just a trim level. Oddly enough, it's the lowest trim level, and comes with the smaller rims and no DSC. From there you have "Touring," which has DSC and larger rims, and "Grand Touring" which is the same as touring only with leather interior.
These might have changed over the years, so somebody can correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I'm pretty certain this is how it was when I bought mine last year.

either there was a change in mazda's model line up in '06, or someone doesnt have their facts right.
I have an '06 MT, WITHOUT DCS/foglights/anything special (no spoiler even), with 18'' rims, but then again, I bought it used, so, donno....

All mt up to 08 had 18" wheels, bigger front rotors and a sport tuned suspension. If you got a base 06 mt, you had to get the sport package option to get hid lights, fog lights and dsc.
