I would like to hear opinions from those of you who oppose getting STI Brembos on our BRZ, especially CSG.

From a simple search on AP Racing Website, BRZ and WRX have VERY VERY VERY similar parts numbers for Caliper Type, Brake Disc, Disc Mounting Kit and Brake Pads(Pads are exactly the same part numbers). Fronts have little different parts number, I'm assuming that because of the brackets. But please explain why these calipers are so similar but yet installing STI brakes on BRZ is dangerous.
