I am just wondering how much brake fluid I need for my car. I am putting new rotors, pads and lines in. Also, is anyone running stoptech's stage 2? opinions?. What is a good set of stainless lines to go with?
ss lines? probably the brand that fit. I don't think any of the brands actually manufacture the flex tube they use to build (ie, they probably all use the same source). I don't know, someone correct if I'm wrong. Otherwise, BF Goodrich seems to be a normal go to brand.
BF Goodrich is the tire company, Goodridge is the brake line manufacturer. I have a set on my car, they work very well indeed. You'll need 2 pts of brake fluid but you won't use all of it. Another option is to do the Legacy rear brake brackets/rotors, which give you an inch bigger rotor in the rear. Better than OEM pads will make a difference as well. For fluids, I've been running the ATE Superblue/Typ 200 combo, same fluid just different color so you can see when you're flushing the lines when you've got them changed out.
Well, it will take less than a pint of fluid for a flush. Every subie that I have done I usually use the full pint, but the last rotation around the car is pretty much just a waste of fluid at that point. You can also talk to Mark at Diversified, his ss lines are going for $108. Russ
