Default Brake SET up help...

Its time for a small maintance job on my car and some upgrades...

I'm looking at getting speed bleeders....but no clue what "size" I need can anyone help with that?? I have stock vx brakes up front and either 2nd gen or 94-01 teg rear disc.....I'm sure they are teh same size but I'm not positive....

Also, Lookin into Motul Blue brake fluid...where can I get this stuff at fairly cheap??

I already have SS brake lines and Brembo Slotted/drill rotors up front and I'll be ordering just SLotted for the rear.......with AXXIs Metal Masters all around....

I'd appreciate the help...

http://www.russellperformance.com/ for speed bleeders.

http://www.ogracing.com or http://www.cobaltfriction.com for the fluid. From what I understand, the Motul fluid is the same as the ATE fluid, which seems to have had a price increase.

Thank bro....

I been reading up on the Motul and ATE Super Blue fluids and I hear they are not too good for daily driving and have to be flushed every few months....hmmm is that true??

Right now I use DOT4 Synthetic Valvolin Fluid....should I stick with that??

I used the Dot 4 Syntech on my car and it is daily driven and Track Drivin, I have to flush it, but I ususally do that before a track event just to make sure that thier is fresh fluid in the system. As far as I know Motul and ATE Supber blue are ok for street driving, but they are probably overkill since the boiling point is so high.

I'm using the ATE fluid and have zero complaints. OE rotors and ATE fluid with Axxis Ultimates are a very good street setup. I've used it at Mid-Ohio for my first HPDE and only faded it once at the end of the back straight. Works good for autocross, too.

Once a year would be fine. I've done one 3-day HPDE and about a dozen autocrosses since I changed the fluid last April and it still looks new.
