Wheel size. 16" (AT only) is non-sport, 18" is sport. That determines rotor size. Tell the vendor what size wheels you've got...assuming they're the OE wheels. If you have aftermarket wheels, pull one off and measure the rotor diameter.

Where's the green thingy? Better have your doctor take a look at it before it spreads.

if you have 18 inch wheels and your car is manual then you have sport suspension. Period. The end.

The green "things" you have are just after market springs.

No. It means you drove through a puddle of growth hormone. They're going to take your Tour de France trophy away.
