brake fluid inquiry
Guys
I am swaping out my entire brake system and suspension this weekend on my 99 coupe. I am going to drain all existing brake fluid and then replace it with new fluid, how much volume of break fluid do I need to purchase to refill the brake lines, resevoir, calipers, etc...
What's your opinions on which fluid I should go with? The car will be driven around aggresive street drive/road course but also a daily driver... I will have bigger calipers, Rotors and stainless steel lines... I've been looking at Redline's product, but what's been your experiences?

just make certain that you do not drain the ABS dry. I just keep topping the resevour up with new fluid.
I like the full synthetic DOT 4 from Valvoline.
I recalled needing two bottles....since it took something over one.
