Are you doing brake lines too? It is the perfect time if you haven't yet.

Hey Josh I was actually just reading about brake fluid.Looks like i'll go with Castrol SRF DOT4.How many bottles does it take to flush and refill do you know?
this thing is pretty expensive at 70$/bottle but well worth it since I'm gonna change it only once every 2 years.I hear this SRF absorbs moisture at a lower rate than the other DOT4 fluids...
And yes I was thinking of doing SS lines as well im mad I didnt order in the same time with the rotors.it is what it is..gotta wait a few more days now.
Here some info I found on another site on dry/wet boiling point.not sure what a difference does it make if youre not tracking the car though..
