Curious how it went and what additional hardware was needed.

You're going to need more then just rotors......new calipers and caliper mounts.......not sure if the mounts are bolted to the uprights or are part of them....if bolted then fine....if not then new uprights to make way for the larger diameter rotor.......could add up to lots of money!

Is this from experience, or just speculation? Often you can run larger rotors without changing calipers. If the caliper mounting brackets are part of the uprights, they should be easy to machine.

What's the difference in rotor size for the fronts? Are the pad surface areas larger as well?

Both Front and rear rotors are larger on 13+ models. They also have the same size rotors fitted front and rear ('12s and earlier have smaller rotors on the rear than the fronts)
Calipers/pads also changed to increase pad surface area by around 30% or so too

Master cylinders also changed, IIRC

So at a minimum it would be master, calipers, rotors and pads. That's if they handled the larger rotor with long mount legs on the caliper and left the spindle the same.

I would definitely be interested in swapping out for larger rotors & calipers. Interested in seeing if it can be done reasonably.

I suppose the first thing to know is if the spindles are the same part number for the different years with brake size differences.
