If balling,
Buy 5 stud conversion, from Ek9 or Dc2r + the budget mod.
If on budget,
Buy good set of rotors with aggressive brake pads with braided lines.
If your broke,
Just buy nice pads + get ur rotors machined.
Honda Brake Fluid is good.
I been using penrite, which is good too.
If your shopping for the cheapest, go supercheap/REPCO and just buy any ol Super Dot4.
asked for break fluid, not google search.Quote:

Cheapest way to make an ek1 brake harder and be legal on the road. Also note i do remember reading some where the caliper part # is also shared with some other hondas, which may not carry Type R Tax.
The caliper you're referring to is the Nissin 17cl15vnQuote:

I got both of mine for $50 from a wrecked Ra1 (odyssey) no type R tax for me :P
Anzai, from experience I would recommend Motul RBF600 or TRW GP600. It's basically the high boiling point that you're looking for. Any basic dot4 fluids (OEM most likely included) won't handle racing conditions unless you're keen to bleed it every session lol.
RBF600/GP600 work absolutely fine for daily driving too.
But if you're wanting to get rid of fade entirely, the pads and discs are a major contributor here as well.
