lol, alright, i would still save some of your budget for alc *cough* tuition *cough* hol, but the spec is a great choice, ive had my 05 since april first and havent regretted it once, the knock sensor on the spec is very sensitive, you can run regular if you want, but you will get the most power out of premium, this comes from the knock sensor issue, regular gas sets the knock sensor off quicker than premium resulting in retarded timing and ultimately less power, this has been dyno proven of a difference like 15 hp, as for the brembo upgrade, cant say if its worht it or not, it already stops pretty damn quick, if you need to stop any faster you should already be considering aftermarket braking equipment anyways (i.e. autocross) dont have the camshafts either, but they are only good for about 8-10hp which you can get out of a balance shaft removal, and the shaft removal only costs like 80 bucks, i would pick up a cold air intake first, hell i would pick it up on the way home from the dealership, its not worth driving without one after youve been in it, the sound is amazing, also another thing you should consider is an aftermarket header, the precats on the spec headers have been known to explode and scar the cylinder walls, other than that its a beast, best bang for buck out there in my opinion as far as stock 4 cylinders go, only thing i think gets it is a srt4 with the elusive competition group, but thats another 9k away from the spec, any more questions feel free to pm me or post here again, you will make the right decision
