MidnightCowboy Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 In the 2019 Mustang order guide under standard equipment it says: Larger Brake Rotors with Four-Piston Fixed Calipers Is that just the front or is it the rear, too? If it's not the rear too then what calipers and rotors does it have on the rear? (I just mean standard equipment not Brembo in the performance packages). Thank you!

Rich B. Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Plan on not getting a compact spare with Brembo package. Calipers are too large to clear, spares are out there but costly...... Edited April 19, 2018 by Rich B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightCowboy Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yeah, I know about the compact spare. I'm not getting the Performance Package. I just meant what kind of calipers are standard on the rear of the Mustang GT premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brakes on the rear sadly are the same generic 1-piston brakes they put on most models. This even holds true for the PP1/PP2 equipped cars.

Kepler4 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 You can upgrade to Baer rear discs if you plunk down $4K: http://baer.com/15-Rear-Extreme-Brake-System-2015-Mustang.html Or Ford Performance GT-350 front and rear Brembos for $3K: https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-2300-AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler4 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 FYI: The four-piston calipers are not Brembo as those are only included with the Perf Pack 1 or 2 and are 6-piston calipers. Happy to help where and when I can do so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B. Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Geez and we all think our Bosses have underrated Brembos. Installing larger rotors, more Pistons, different shoes/pads and on and on. Guess most don't realize what they have to start with. Also imbalance problem can occur with wrong size/mismatched rotors and gripping characteristics, an ABS thing. Good info...... Also nobody admits with their changes that things maybe got worse with overheating, brake fade. All and any changes are vast improvements (ok) lol...... Edited May 10, 2018 by Rich B.

Coming from a Focus ST that I autocross and take to track days, I can attest that the stock rear brakes are up to the task. Just like with any performance car in a performance situation, cooling is king. I changed out the brake fluid to StopTech STR-660 and some EBC yellow pads and it did just fine. I expect the same will be true of the GT PP2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
