    I am fitting GTi-6 calipers, brembo discs, ferodo pads, and goodridge hoses within the next week or so.

    Obviously I will be filling the system with new DOT4 fluid.

    But how much will I need? 500ml? 1L?

    Cheers

    Get 2ltrs mate.

    1 to flush through and bleed the system, the other ltr as back up and to top the resivoir up.

    Not yet. My pads haven't arrived from auto-nation yet. Plus think I want to sand/shot blast the calipers as they look a bit shabby! Know anywhere that can do it?
