Even making sure basic maintenance is taken care of can improve the stopping power of your brakes. Replacing brake pads regularly can extend the life of your other braking components. And when you swap out your factory brake pads for high-performance options, you'll also be less susceptible to brake fade.

Though your rotors don't need to be replaced as often as your brake pads, they also need to be routinely replaced. And just like with brake pads, there are rotors specifically designed to hold up despite high speeds and heavy braking. If you enjoy spirited driving, then these are a worthwhile investment for your Mustang.

If it's time to replace your pads and rotors, you may want to consider a kit. By selecting a brake kit that includes these parts, you're guaranteed to get parts that will work well together and give you the best stopping power.
