Upgraded Brembos. What brake fluid?

I just bought a set of Centric Rotors, Project Mu Pads & Rotora Lines for my Brembos.

I want to make sure I get a good fluid that matches the quality of my new brake package. I tried using search here and at my350, and coudn't find any threads about it.

Any recommendations? Motul RBF 660?
What about a good website to get it from?
Should I get two bottles (2 Ls) or is one enough?

Thanks!

It's more of a function of what you want to do with the car (track it?) and how often you are willing to change the fluid? As the performance of the fluid gets higher, the faster it attracts moisure (faster the boiling point goes down)

1 liter is enough to flush all the old fluid out. I've used Motul 600 before and no complaints, but I think it comes in .5 liter bottles. I last used ATE Super Blue which has great specs but cost less than Motul. It is nice to see the fluid coming out of the bleed screw go from amber to blue, because you know that the old fluid has been flushed.

I have the motul because it is easy to get locally. If you're ordering get any high performance brake fluid and let price be your determining factor. Look at the wet/dry boiling points and then make a decision that makes you happy.

The point about the ATE going from amber to blue is a neat aspect to consider if you're doing it yourself. Aside from that, ATE is good fluid on its own too.
