Default Brembo

I'm looking for information because what I find from the Ford website is a bit vague.

And thanks for anything I can learn here.

I bought a 2013 5.0.
I'm told that the Brembo brake package which it came with also has a upgraded suspension.
Is that true? Is it better than a stock Mustang 5.0 Premium?
Since this is my first Mustang, I wouldn't know whats better or best as I only have this one to go on.

One of the reasons I say this is because as suspensions go, this is probly one of the finest I've felt.
Its very smooth, yet it hardly leans in the corners when I turn pretty hard.
In fact, I have not noted any body lean at all.
It feels stiff but not so stiff that it kills my back to go over small bumps like my friend's Subaru WRX does to me when I ride with him. He has many aftermarket upgrades to his suspension and its uncomfortable in a daily commute.
Mine is highly comfortable.

This 5.0 has the track apps on it and I set it to the accelerometer and went through some turns that were fairly spirited.
I have .69 G on both left and right turns recorded.
.69 partly because I'm still getting to know the car and that's all the nerve I had.
That being said, I heard no squeal and it felt very very solid in that turn.

So to summarize my questions;
Is it true the Brembo brakes come with an upgraded suspension?
If so, what's upgraded about it?

Is .69 G in a turn something to write home about or will a 5.0 Premium with this suspension handle more?

Thanks for anything I can learn here....
