Pads & Fluid.

[Bunyip04]

G'day, just wondering what brake fluid you guys reccommend for BF II XR8,
out of the usual Castrol super dot 4, PBR red dot etc pelase?
And i'm chasing some good but not great pads for the rear standard brakes, in conjunction with EBC reds up front also, please?

Appreciate the help in advance!

Cheers Mick.

The AP Racing 5.1 fluid is what we like to use and is $20 per bottle for 2 or more and rear pads for street use are from $80 to $120.Do you have the rear 328mm vented disc or the solid 303mm as the rear pads are different.

i also wanted to find this out, i was told to only put dot4 in my FG but i would like to goto a higher type fluid as i will be tracking this car. You can let the 4 and 5.1 mix though, yes?

Use the 5.1 but bleed it through the system until all new fluid is visable.

Pretty sure the rears are the vented 328mm, will have to check, what type of pads?

Funny enough Bendix 4wd pads are great for the rear of these with the 328mm set up or we have TRW or Remsa also available.
