You will be loosing the adaptive headlights, heated seats, ducktail and upgraded interior trim though..

In Spain the tax increase occurs at the 200gr CO2/km limit and the premium version is over 200gr CO2/km (extra weight), which is why Toyota Spain has decided not to commercialize this model.

Most who have experience with these cars on track seem to agree that upgraded pads and fluid are sufficient for occasional track use.
Who is upgrading the front brakes in the second package? Dealer? Importer? I'd be concerned that the proper R&D to maintain brake balance is not being done, but a lot of people swap brake without taking this into consideration..

There is very little information on this but it seems that the upgrade is being carried out by the dealer or importer not the factory. Another concern is what is going to happen to the brake dust shields that have to be removed to install the new brakes.
