Changed my order from Limited (sport tech) to Premium

I had the chance to spend some time in a FR-S at my local Scion dealer and it made me start thinking about my BRZ choice. My PRIMARY reason for going with the Limited was the auto climate controls, but in person the basic system doesn't look or feel as bad. Also, the cloth interior on the FR-S was, admittedly lousy...but again, not AS bad. Coupled with the fact that I don't much care for the spoiler or fog lamps, and the cloth on the BRZ is clearly even better, I decided to make the jump and contacted my dealer about possibly switching my order. As it turns out there's way more demand for the Sport tech here in Canada so they said it'll be no problem to get me the premium. So after all said and done it looks like I'm going to end up with an silver premium! where I started with a blue limited.

Aren't the brakes different on the Canadian BRZ Premium vs. Limited? See: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6157

That has to be wrong. There's no way they would use smaller front discs relative to the rears.

Correct, they all get the same brakes.
