toast: one question: why we have only fronts from wrx and rear rotors from legacy gt if brakes supposedly are same as for car with different weight distribution and drivetrain?
Also you are not forgetting proportioning at master cylinder, which can be further selected from available parts by manufacturer to tailor to specific rotor sizing/brake caliper distance from center/pad shape & area/slave pistons sizing to get the right bias.
Sport cars can get by with having proportioning valve to adjust bias, more expertise and testing time & budget to get right bias. Does average Joe has these bits to get it right by hunch feel? To not potentially fsck up system as important as brakes best one can do is to not blindly change parts. Not having brembo branding on calipers or few lb-s more of weight is better & safer then changing brakes with no care. Both for tracked & daily driven car.
