Rotora Big Brake Kit - feedback / reviews?

[2door]

I'm thinking of improving the braking performance of my Bronco. It looks like Rotora is the only company that offers big brake kits for the Bronco with the 2.7 engine. I know of Wilwood, Brembo, and AP Racing, but I've never heard of Rotora. I'm wondering if anyone has had prior experience with the products of this brand.

I had to brake hard once on the turnpike when some idiot two cars in front of me decided to come to a complete stop out of nowhere, I thought the back wheels were going to come off the ground.
I'd imagine a front big brake kit + 2 dr you'll be doing stoppies

There's nothing to worry about – it has a rollbar

I've only used AP, Brembo or Stoptech.
That being said, I've never heard anything bad about Rotora. They've been around for a long time.
This might be the best way to decide. An actual review:

Not on my Bronco but we installed a set of Rotoras on both an Explorer ST and a Whipple supercharged 2021 F150 here at Lethal and both are awesome.

Never used those, but I have heard decent things about them.

Honestly, the Bronco brakes are pretty robust stock.

The stock brakes are great as long as a Bronco remains bone stock. A performance tune and heavy add-ons compromise the braking performance. More power and more weight = more heat. There are lots of hills and twisty roads in my area, and I would like to have slightly more confidence in the Bronco brakes.

Is this a problem with the Bronco? I don't think the tires can overpower the OEM brakes.

Stronger brakes won't do anything if the tires still slip.

I wouldn't be an early adopter on these, I remember reading of someone here purchasing a Hennessey Bronco with a big brake kit and they had to return it to it's stock brakes because of an issue with the computer.

Thanks for the link. I'm not ready to pull the trigger on the BBK yet, just collecting the information that should help me make a decision.

The swept area of the pads/rotors are the biggest benefit. Those of us with heavy rigs and live in the mountains it does make a difference. I split time from a house at sea level to another house at 6000 ft. Factory brakes do not last long.
