StopTech braided SS brake hoses

Where should I go to get my new brake hoses installed? What is a good brake fluid to replace the old stuff with?

I think BVO or J4C can do it.

I was recommended Motul RBF600 by StopTech. Anyone used this brake fluid before?

I'll give BVO a call. Thanks for the recommendation.

Re: Motul RBF600 brake fluid

If you crack open your brake lines, it is better to refresh your brake fluid as they naturally absorb moisture from the air and this lowers their boiling point. If you have the opportunity, get the lockheed martin DOT5.1 brake fluid at Sin Min ( the curve block with the famous Bak Kut Teh) sells cor about $16 per litre. Don't get DOT 5 cos this is the racing fluid and is pure Silicon based and will not mix with your original fluid. TO use DOT 5 fluid, the entire system needs to be drained, cleaned and dried before the new DOT 5 can be used. This is the only way to use DOT 5 properly. So better to just use DOT 5.1 and save the trouble.

Better still if you can change your brake fluid every year, just use DOT 4 and save the money.

Cheers

I bought 3 500ml bottles of Motul RBF600 brake fluid on the strong recommendation of the product specialist at StopTech in California. Apparently this product has excellent wet and dry boiling points, and is compatible with nearly every single OE brake system. I'm sure J4C know how to bleed brakes - they do sell StopTech BBK's after all.

Bro, 1.5 litres can change 2 times. They can definitely do the job. I was trying to offer an alternative in case you did not have lobang..
