Hey guys

just done a pretty extensive upgrade for all my brakes. For those of you who dont know its a 94 GLI civic sedan.

My brake setup now includes

Rear - Standard VTI calipers, Dba Slotted rotors, Endless ccr Pads.
Front - Spoon 4 piston Calipers, 282mm dba slotted Rotors, Endless ccr Pads
ITR 1" Master Cylinder
4040 Prop Valve
ADR approved braided brake lines all round

My car is a street driven, with occasional visits to the 1/4 and hopefully want to get time attacks a go in the future. But end of the day it spends most its life on the street.

Can anyone suggest some decent brake fluid i should use for my setup and what the car will be used for. Something that is better for convertional fluid, but not something that a All out track car would need to (if it matters). Also something that i could easily obtain would be good. Sold at autobarn/repco etc. And could anyone give me some approx prices?

Also feel free to leave me some advice or questions / commetns

Thanks in advance

Regards Lyle
