I need help on selecting Brake Parts, this is how I am thinking.
 
Zimmerman's Rotor (front)
w/ Hawk HPS
Stock rear rotor
w/ Hawk HPS
stainless brake line (4 corners)
Motul 5.1 (I dont know how many bottle I need)

I love to go with BBK, but I am struggling with financial difficulty. and I dont track as well..

I am noob on brake as well,, so can you please give me input how it is.. or any suggestion?

if you dont want to go bbk, then good pads, fluid and SS lines will do its job
 
just fine!

on brake fluid, a full flush you will need 2 full bottles, i believe each motul fluid comes in 500cc. but just in case why dont you just get 3 bottles!

how much is it over there? in socal 5.1 is like $6 a bottle and RBF600 is like $15

if it is too much over there, I'll get some and send it to you!

I dont think anyone sells Motul or any perfromance brake parts in here..
 
we can't stop anyway on the ice.. lol

thanks alot for the input yo!!!

I will do some more search.. on selecting pads

I still love to have BBK...

Are there any motorcycle shops up there?
 
Usually they carry Motul products.

Agree...
 
The stock set-up with better pads is quite ok for most people's street use. I use and like Hawk HPS. I even think you are better off using stock DOT4 fluid. Unless you are having problems with overheated brakes, why use the more expensive fluids? Far more beneficial to flush your fluid regularly.

That's pretty much what I just did
 
On all 4 corners:
-Stock size cross-drilled and zinc coated rotors
-PBR Ceramic pads
-SS lines
-System flush & bleed with Motul 5.1

Car stops fantastic now! I'm really quite happy with this setup. I don't track, so this appeared to be my best option.
