Default TRD Big Brake Kit question

Searched around for awhile and I couldn't find anything to answer my question so here it goes
I've been looking around for the TRD BBK and I found one for a 2008 xB, same bolt pattern as a 2013 tC and I'm wondering if the kit for the xB will fit on a tC
Only thing I've noticed is different between the 2 kits is the rotor size the xB one is 340mm x 65mm and the tC one is 340mm x 25 mm

So I'm trying to figure out if that will work?

So it's probably to late to matter, but yes it will likely fit. The tC2 brakes fit on the xB2 (calipers, brake lines, rotors; the whole package) so I don't see any reason why the xB2 kit wouldn't work on the tC2.

$1,450 is absolutely insane for what is, effectively, a cosmetic upgrade. The stock brakes are pretty strong, and the Big Brake Kit is absolute overkill.

I'd still like to see an OEM swap solution worked out. I spent weeks going over thousands of calipers and rotor combos for the xB2 (which uses the exact same bolt spacing; xB2 and tC2 calipers, rotors, and brake lines can be swapped without modification) and found absolutely nothing that even comes close. Ideally we could identify a larger rotor with the right backspacing and a larger caliper that would work with an adapter bracket (I haven't seen any that will fit without, aside from the TRD set).
