Nope. Not joking. It may "work." And it may subjectively feel better. But that doesn't mean the car perfoms better. It's like guys that put $600 coilovers on their car, drop it 3", and swear up and down that it handles better. It may feel that way to them, but if you ran a few objective tests you would likely find the car is much slower through corners than it was stock. I think this brake swap is the same, which is why I call it a hack job. I don't believe anyone will die as a result of the swap. But I am sure their braking system will perform worse for having done it.
To me, these seem to be the facts:
The brakes fit. The Pistons are the wrong size for the application. They effect bias in a negative manner. They will perform worse than stock, speaking objectively, on both the street or track. They will still stop the car well enough of a commuter car.
