BRAKES (Size, Upgrade)

[Lorenzo]

What's the size of the Bronco rotors and calipers?
I love upgrade paths with OEM parts.
Big brake kits from the usual suspects are so spendy!!! (yes YOU Alcon)
* Ex: Coyote: Mustang intake on a F150.
** I have been lucky with BMW's upgrading breaks with (Sport / M) OEM parts is pretty much direct bolt on.

So, is there something in the Ford parts bin that would be a size increase (discs & calipers) for the Bronco brakes?
Maybe from the F150, F150 Raptor, or Excursion?

* Thank you for your patience, I could have spend all morning researching, but I thought I would just see if some of the smart people here already know.

BRAKES !

Don't think I'll be doing any brake upgrades that increased unsprung weight.
Especially since there are no indication the existing brakes are substandard.
Maybe braided lines or performance calipers.

I'm sure the brakes are great, and oversized for the vehicle - since they are designed to accommodate a tow weight. For me, stopping power and chassis dynamics are the most interesting upgrades.

I'd also like to know the rotor sizes, as I have a sweet set of 15x10 Method wheels with 33s that would be great, if they can be squeezed on.

Maybe they are the same as the Ranger?
Which is rated at 7,500 towing capacity.
Brake info is such a pain to search online, so many links to sell "upgrades" - hard to find the OEM spec.

After now driving 1000 miles and comparing to my 392 Wrangler these brakes are not to my standards. I do think performance rotor and pads will fix shortcomings but may want to upgrade calipers

Can you expand on this. What are you noticing in the Bronco vs the Jeep?
