The reason being that each car has a specific brake bias that's different from other models. Differing weight and weight distribution means one brake kit on one car isn't ideal for another. Sure, TL brakes make give a better bite, and fade less due to increased surface area--but if the brake bias is screwed, you're not using making the most out of the brakes.
In short, don't get brake kits for other cars because they simply weren't designed for the Si. Which is why it takes time for companies like Stoptech to release new BBKs--they need to be specifically optimized for our cars.

figured that much...
although i was skeptical to believe that i'd lose power on a BBK designed for the car...i u didn't say it here ... but i remember reading it elsewhere ....
they said a front BBK will make u lose braking power because is screws up brake bias and that the back needs to be upgraded too ...
i found that to be total crap as time after time BBKs are fitted on to cars like our (rsx etc) and braking is vastly improved!!! this is why i'm going ahead and getting a BBK ...
but i do agree that BBKs designed for other cars may hurt braking.
