Default How much brake fluid to order, complete overhaul?

Hello all.

I have a 1994 LS Coupe, and I have new Brembo blank rotors, Goodridge Stainless steel braided lines. I am getting ready to place my order for Hawk HPS pads, and some better brake fluid. I'm thinking of going with ATE Type 200 Gold, but if anyone has any recommendations, let me know. The car is almost 100% driven on the street, i'm just looking to upgrade for more 'enthusiast' driving.

How much brake fluid should I order to completely flush and fill the system? If you dont recommend the ATE Fluid, what fluid should I get for everyday driving? I am ordering from Cobalt Friction, if that helps on brand selection. Thanks.

You shouldn't need more than 2 large bottle of brake fluid. If your car is going to be street driven, I'd recommend Valvoline Synthetic Dot 3/4 brake fluid. It's relatively inexpensive and has good wet & dry boiling points.
