Not a fan of slotted rotors, but the calipers look really nice.

Everything's a performance/cost/need/want trade-off. But an xB isn't a serious high perf/on-track vehicle...

I would have went for the larger TC2 calipers and rotors (they're a direct bolt-on upgrade) before I went with slotted... I mean they look interesting, but they don't really do anything for this car. The painted calipers do look really nice; I wish I would have painted my TC2 calipers before I installed them.

I was not looking for any performance, I work in the aftermarket car industry and know the pro's and con's of slotted. I'm also coming from owning two Evo's. I just wanted something interesting to look at, especially when I knew I was putting new wheels on. This is my daily driver. And this car (wagon) is def not a track car:?

How much larger are the TC2 rotors?

Not enough to be worth doing unless you already need new rotors and pads and don't mind getting a new set of calipers (they're fairly cheap). 21mm larger, 3mm thicker, and the brake pads are slightly larger.
