15 inch rotors were 70% approx. Of the braking is done. This mustang will stop on a dime especially after the weight reduction. No worries there man.

I'm good with it but I know that will be the next attack from the auto crowd.

Kind of sucks that you have to upgrade to 20 inch wheels to get 275s, they dont ride as good and slow down acceleration a little bit..the 19x9.5 still have 265 which is alright.

Chassis & Suspension
2015 Ford Mustang Rear Suspension

The IRS is an integral-link independent rear suspension. “The geometry, springs, dampers and bushings all have been specifically modified and tuned for this high-performance application,” said Pericak. The benchmark was the Boss 302, and Ford says the ’15 equals or surpasses its handling, feel, and the level of confidence it inspires.

2015 Ford Mustang Front Suspension

The front end is also new, utilizing MacPherson struts and a double-ball-joint spindle with twin lower links (per side, rather than heavier A-arms) and a mild anti-roll bar. This arrangement allows for larger brakes and improves steering feedback. According to Nair, “it’s easier to drive at the limit, it will flatter the novice and reward the expert.”
