Default Lines, fluid, pads... your reccomendations?

[*I tried the search but didnt find the information I wanted]
I'm planning on ordering HP Hawk pads in the near future. Aside from pads I also plan on 'upgrading' my brake fluid and possibly changing the brake lines.
What do you guys reccomend as far as brake fluid and lines?

Thanks!

Tell you what...drop me a line tomorrow at 954.240.3896, and we'll discuss your options. Your choice of brake pads is determined by the type of driving you are doing.

A high-performance street setup that is cost-effective, and will give you excellent street, auto-x, and drag performance, and very good track performance is:

BRAKE PADS = AXXIS ULTIMATE
BRAKE FLUID = ATE SUPERBLUE OR TYP200 GOLD
BRAKE LINES = stick with OEM rubber hoses for reliability.

Cobalt is a Honda-Tech.com sponsor, and offers special pricing to H-T.com members. Presently, H-T.com members receive a 15% discount on Axxis Ultimate brake pads.

Cool, thanks for the quick response.
I dont have a long distance provider so I cant call you, but I can contact you through email or this thread.
What will those pads and fluid run me?
Thanks again.

Yes. Andie knows his stuff. I've ordered from him before (at his previous employer).

Ultimates
Superblue , but likely overkill. I use the Valvoline synthetic even on track with zero problems. Cheaper and readily availible at every parts store.
I've had SS brake lines on both my cars for years with no reliability issues.

Cobalt as a standard 10% Honda-Tech.com discount on many products.

Until the end of August (I may extend it if there is enough interest...we'll see...), Honda-Tech.com members will receive 15% off on Axxis Ultimate brake pads, and our normal, excellent pricing on brake fluid.

I am planning to have Honda-Tech.com/Cobalt contests online...have to decide on a format (Any idea, please forwward them to andie@cobaltfriction.com - thanks.), which will entail one free bottle of brake fluid (winner just pays shipping) - Ate Superblue or Ate Typ200 Gold - per month, and one set of Axxis Ultimate brake pads at 50% off list prices every 3 months. Stay tuned...

HTH... Enjoy the rest of the weekend, guys/gals... -Andie
