no need to change the type of brake fluid, just upgrade to braided hoses if you want, no need but is worth it! they are larger, the discs are 256mm, and the calipers are tops, i am running v6 brakes, 288mm with braided lines and these are well wort hthe money but cost a bit more! 40-50 is for the pair of the gte brakes

I have 6 pot calipers and 295 mm slotted and drilled disks.

TAROX my friend.
I had this kit in a SUBARU WRX, it's the same
And I need Rear discs because I have killed three set's of drums
They fit under a 15" wheel, and I almost can outbrake any car, BMWS,MERCEDES and SUBARUS

Seriously, it's much safer when driving fast
