I would say stock, no ?

I used valvoline synthetic high performance brake fluid about 7 bucks for 1 qrt. I managed to do 1 hour of hard driving on the track with it, and it held up good. I didnt want to get the 'blue stuff' because i dont want to stain the brake fluid reservoir yet lol.

If the car is 100% street use, I would stick with stock. Just flush the fluid once a year and you should be fine. If it goes on the track at all, then I would upgrade fluid at a minimum. I did 1K track miles last year and ran Motul RBF600 and bled before and after every event and had no issues at all. I ran Pagid Orange and had great results. Kevin

It only took one "religious" experience with the brake pedal hitting the floor at the end of a straightaway with stock fluid to make a believer out of me...like I said, bleed before and after every event. Never can be too careful.Kevin

ramone, Kevin has it right, for the street, I would just follow the normal service recommendations. They are awesome brakes and only after a prolonged session on the track do you start to over heat the fluid.
For normal duty keep it simple.
But...when you head out to the track let us know and we will give ya some pointers!!!
