I mean, I like the modern CS but I just don't get why they call it as such...

If they are compatible then there should be a lower price for the Brembo package on a GT/CS rather than simply say you can't have both. Or they should have made the GT/CS wheels compatible with the Brembos and the tires that are part of that package or just simply use the Brembo package wheels on the GT/CS when you add that option.
I also seriously doubt most dealer employees and especially salesmen would have a clue about any technical issues. No offense to any salesmen here.
