    Motul rbf600 is awesome, or you can go the rbf660 if your hard on the brakes. You shouldnt really need anything more hardcore than that. Otherwise endless brake fluid is great and overkill, as is dixcel 328 racing.

    Depends on how much heat it need to deal with.
    I was using the same Bosch DOT4 that I use in customer cars without an issue.
    Only changed to PBR racing fluid recently as a sponsor gave me some and I like to change the fluid once a year.

    I use penrite racing. 300 deg dry boiling pt. As good as any other racing fluid. $30 a bottle from supercheap.

    Regular fluids I would boil but I'm using semi slicks and like to stomp on the brake pedal.
