If they are comparable to the aftermarket Brembo GT-R units, then there's a reason to buy them. Though if I wanted a BBK I'd wait for StopTech to make a kit. But I don't want a BBK so all this is irrelevant to me.
12k or 16k, paying for more than half your car's worth in brakes is ridiculous, with the exception of people who will make this a track dedicated car, I guess...(even then I can't imagine you would need all that stopping power in a car this small.)

I run into curbs with my Tahoe

I think I need this for the FRS, a car that can actually hit a curb

If I can, I want to make special order for those 16" wheels instead of 17". The wheel is so AE86's.
