I currenty own a 04 cobra which i love, but like many others I'm looking to buy a new 5.0. Havnt even test drove one yet but anything with high horsepower I want good stopping power as well. Those of you who know or own a 2013 and up brembo 5.0... Can u answer me this. Are the brembos only in the front or are they all corners? Can't tell from the pictures nor do I see anything on the ford website.
Factory brembo brake package?

rear brakes are not that import. they make a difference. besides they look way better and come with nicer wheels.
upfront only, rear pads are supposed to be a different compound though. but the base brakes are decent, i have autocrossed on mine with 20's and they didn't fade at all.
brembo package isn't just brakes. Its a whole suspension package.
I've had both a '13 & a '12 gt one brembo one without And I can honestly say it doesn't stop much better, however it definitely doesn't have the brake fade the standard brakes have when taking a beating. I wanted the package this time for the big brake look and factory wheels.
I will say, the factory brakes are an upgrade I over the cobras. My dad has a Mach 1, same brakes as the termi. And my car (13 GT) definitely stops better. They haul you down. Can't say anything about the brembos since I haven't driven one with them.
So your looking for a '13+?
The Brembo brake package comes with:
-Front: 14" Brembo® vented rotors with Brembo® 4-piston calipers
-Rear: 11.8" vented rotors
-Unique electronic stability Control® (ESC) tuning
-19" X 9.0 dark stainless painted aluminum wheels with 255/40R19 summer-only tires
-Tire mobility kit replaces spare tire
-Aggressive suspension tuning
Get the track pack it includes brembo brake pkg
Available only on manual GT Mustangs with a 3.73 axle, the package gives track enthusiasts an engine cooler, upgraded radiator, performance friction brake pads and the same Torsen® differential that's on Mustang Boss 302. The package includes everything in the current Brembo™ Brake Package, with 14-inch vented front discs, unique 19-inch alloy wheels and summer performance tires.
The suspension difference is huge between these and a stripped down GT
I drove a stripped GT and was not impressed with the driving characteristics. I almost crossed 5.0 off my list of potential cars after driving it....then I drove a track pack car(the very same in my sig) and it was like driving a different car. At least test drive one with the track pack/brembo if you haven't driven a 5.0 before. Some other guy on here was comparing a stripped down GT to a 2SS. That's selling the 5.0 short for sure. Well good luck with your car search:beer:
EDIT: my car is equipped with the track pack, I did full braking from 130-45. They work pretty good but I've found myself going faster than I thought making it seem like the brakes were inadequate. From what I understand the brembos r slightly better against fade, but a nominal amount over regular brakes.
