Fight all you want. Rarely are things black and white, usually shades of gray.

What I read is that doing a swap, whether the STI version, the caddy version is not optimal and not a real upgrade. If done for show for street and DD, the implications are likely not an issue. If autox and track are your thing then likely it’s not a good thing and you would be better off with brakes designed for the car.

As far as brembo having an interest, they are just stating the facts. Any product is designed for a certain use in general, people will always take these products and adapt them to other things. Sometimes it works, other times it does not.

There is likely someone tracking with swapped brakes and it’s working, but perhaps not as good as a purpose built BBK. The difference in price and performance may be worth it to that person or not. Truth is if you had the money you would do it right.
