new brakes...brake fluid change necessary?

[jonsaudi]

I'm getting my front rotors and brake pads replaced (Zimmerman x-drilled, Hawk HPS). Now, is it necessary to get the brake fluid changed too?

No but you should just do it anyways while you're there. I replace my front rotors and pads the other day and just bled the brakes while I had my friend there helping me.

Since you are not removing your brake lines it is not "necessary." Although it is always a good idea to change your brake fluid if it has been a while.

should change them every 2 years for "normal" cars but while ur at it just change them. I recommend changing ur brake lines as well as that is important in brake feel - Goodridge stainless steel lines are very good
