14-15" front rotors are pretty standard in GT4/GS and GT3/GTD and all of those cars weigh less than a reasonably weight reduced FT86 - although in near stock config a BRZ would be in a TC class. Yes I know, GT3 cars actually have downforce (over 1200 lb @ 150 mph), generally much more power, with much better tires than are readily available.

I think it's more than feasible to run these sorts of brakes on a fun weekend car that you do track hard that does have sizable upgrades (boost, good springs/shocks, R1 tires, etc). I'm here because that may be what I'm interested in doing...

There just doesn't seem to be much publicly available information on these Club Racing upgrades. Then also what's the point of the GT-R kits if they offer less for the track but cost 2-3x more than a regular GT kit and these Club Sports? All of the above offer 14" rotors with 4 or 6 pot calipers it seems.
