Brake Fluid, and related bs

[GQ//S4]

Hawk HPS's front/rear are coming in today, but I completely forgot to order some brake fluid while I was at it.

Recommendations on fluid? I was going to go with Motul, but can't find a local supplier and don't really know where to go to get some at this point. How much fluid does the s4 need to be full?

Oh, and how difficult is it to change out the front/rear pads on this beast anyways?

Thanks

Motul is good, there are a couple of different kinds you can get, standard DOT and RBF600 if you see track time. A couple litre containers should be enough Pads are fairly easy, there is a good write-up in the tech articles at audiworld about shorting out the wear sensor up front. And if you're doing a full flush, which it sounds like you are, you're supposed to cycle the ABS pump with a VAG-COM.

When I did my brakes I used the OEM Audi fluid, it works fine and I have never had an issue with it. i don't track my car so the oem dot4 has been mint for me
