Ummm - RBF600 is about as good as brake fluid gets... As for pads - anything more agressive than what I have is going to be very rotor - unfriendly. Yes it will get the job done but I'll be looking at picking up a new set of rotors with my next set of pads in that case. And it won't be that far off....
The reasons I like the idea of larger brakes is they should give the increased performance I want while at the same time maintiaining some kind of reasonable reliablity
I agree that race pads eat rotors like crazy, but $1000 worth of $20 brembo rotors is 50 rotors. That's a crapload of rotors.
Oh, and I wasn't implying that the Motul fluid is bad, it was just an overall statement that good pads and fluid is what I recommend. Motul is one of the best you can buy. If you wanted to go balls out, you could purchase some Castrol SRF, but at $70/liter, it's kinda hard to justify the 500degF(wet) boiling point. haha.
