What Brake fluid? Braided lines, Brembo max discs, ebc greenstuff



  K20 EG Hatch
Right. I have got Brembo max discs on the front, standards on rear, ebc greenstuff pads all round and goodridge s/s braided hoses all to go on the car.

What brake fluid should i go for? And how much of a job is changing the hoses? Should i take it to a garage?

Cheers

changing the hoses is a doddle if a little messy, I never changed the fluid myself though I got some fancy stuff put in mine too aparantly???
 
Do it yourself its not difficult so long as you have someowhere warm and dry to do it.

I use the super dot 4.1 Halfords used to sell Demon tweeks now sell it but no idea who else does.

Tweeks it is then , lol . I think you have to change dot 5.1 on a more regular basis as it doesn't absorb moisture like dot 3 and 4 so it settles in your caliper and can cause them to rust .

People seem easily confused by the DOT number. :S

While it may not be obvious, the big advantage of the DOT 5.1 fluids is that they contain all of the nifty water-absorbing characteristics of the DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluids while simultaneously providing for very high boiling points and relatively stable viscosity over a wide range of temperatures. The best of all worlds, you could say.

More indepth;
