That is bad information. The trim model does not affect if you have the larger brakes or not. There are only 3 ways you will have the larger brakes and 18" wheels.

1. If your car is a manual transmission which it's not.

2. If you bought the sport/performance package for your automatic which upgrades to the larger brakes/18's

3. Take off the wheel and measure the rotor, it should be 12.7" if you have the larger brakes.

or you could look at the wheel size. if you have 16" wheels you do not have the sport package. if you have 18 " wheels it is likely you do.. unless someone changed the wheels.
