Default 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!

Default Are there any motorcycle shops up there?

Usually they carry Motul products.

Default 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.

Default 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.
