I'm just curious why people would spec or retrofit them on the modestly powered models.

My car has been installed with a KS tuning module to improve its overall performance. Not that the standard brakes are poor but bigger brake will mean that it can stop the car faster and shorter when need to. Essentially the upgrade is more for safety reasons.
